Tissue Engineering

For the repair or reshape of the mutilated tissue, nanotechnology can be used as part of tissue engineering by the usage of suitable nanomaterial-based scaffolds and growth factors. If it is victorious then tissue engineering may replace conventional treatments like organ transplants. For bone tissue engineering applications, nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon nanocones and tungsten disulfide are used as reinforcing agents to manufacture mechanically strong biodegradable polymeric nanocomposites
