Abstract
Nanomedicine drives the convergence of nanotechnology and medicine; it is delineated as the application of nanotechnology in healthcare. Tissue engineering is classified as an associate field of biomaterials and engineering. Merging the best of both worlds: nanomedicine and tissue engineering has great impact in human healthcare practice. Smart drug delivery systems (liposomes, dendrimers) that are incorporated within matrices (polymeric scaffolds and hydrogels) for tissue engineering approaches show sustained delivery of drugs from 3D matrices for tissue engineering. One major application of nanomedicine in medical field is the delivery of drugs to the damaged cells. Carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, and liposomes are important tissue engineering scaffold materials and drug delivery systems which deliver drugs to impaired tissues. Medical nanorobots which are rigid, biocompatible nanometer-scale materials can be used for improving tracking of cells, sensing of microenvironments, delivering of transfection agents, and scaffolding for incorporating with the host’s body. These molecular machines will be medicines of tomorrow.
