ABSTRACT

This chapter deals with the use of nanomaterials that are biocompatible and can be used as implants or scaffoldings for designing an organ/oid for replacement. The material may not be inert but should be able to contribute to bioactivity suitable for the implant site—this chapter examines how these choices are made and the kind of interactions nanomaterial and their designs have on the surrounding tissues. Additionally, the long-term implications, effects of nanomaterials on different signaling pathways, and achievable goals in this field of tissue regeneration have also been discussed in detail.

Highlight: This chapter will deal with the use of nanomaterials that are biocompatible and can be used as implants or scaffoldings for designing an organ/oid for replacement. The material may not be inert but should be able to contribute to bioactivity suitable for the implant site— this chapter examines how these choices are made and the kind of interactions nanomaterial and their designs have on the surrounding tissues. What are the long-term implications and achievable goals in this field of tissue regeneration?
