Nanostructured Materials for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering Applications

Abstract

Nanotechnology and nanostructured materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications are relatively new field that is constantly advancing and expanding. The materials used are at the nanoscale level. Recently, great discoveries and applications have been made (Agents for use in chemotherapy, biological agents and immunotherapy agents) in the treatment of diseases in various areas. Tissue engineering is based on the regeneration and repair of damaged organs and tissues by developing biological substitutes that restore, maintain or improve the function of tissues and organs. Cells isolated from patients are used to seed 3D nanoparticles that can be synthetic or natural biomaterials. For the development of new tissue in tissue engineering, it is necessary to meet the conditions for connecting cells. This paper will present the ways of connecting cells and creating new tissues. Some recent discoveries and advances in the field of nanomedicine and the application of nanotechnology in drug delivery will be presented. Furthermore, the improvement of the effectiveness of new and old drugs based on the application of nanotechnology will be shown.

Nanostructured Biomaterials in Tumor Tissue Engineering: Regenerative Medicine and Immunotherapies

“…Apart from mechanical support to the 3D scaffolds Au nanoparticles represent ideal candidates for the delivery of drugs, growth factors and DNA or RNA genes in the cells. This way, the TTE scaffolds mimic the function of ECM and enhance cellular and biological responses [45]. In a recent research, Radwan-Praglowska et al [46] reported the development of 3D biomaterial scaffolds of poly(lactic acid), PLA nanofibers.…”

BP-EVs: A Novel Source of EVs in the Nanocarrier Field

“…One of the primary concerns lies in their lack of biocompatibility and potential toxicity. Engineered materials can trigger immune responses and cause cytotoxicity, limiting their application in biomedical settings [38]. Moreover, synthetic nanoparticles often encounter accumulation issues, which can lead to potential long-term adverse effects [39].…”
