Abstract

Regenerative medicine is an emergent multidisciplinary field that aims to significantly improve tissue repair or restoration, thus focusing on tissue engineering (TE) in regenerative medicine is inevitable. TE has created a useful ground in which biomaterials science witnessed a huge jump in improving diagnosis and treatment during recent years. TE brings together relevant knowledge from physical sciences, molecular engineering, biotechnology, and medicine toward ameliorated regrowing of the damaged tissue when the body is not able to completely heal itself. three-dimensional (3D) printing comes as a branch of TE technologies, allowing the synthesis of 3D constructs that provide key physiological environments for cell growing. In addition, nanoengineered systems hold tremendous potential in regenerative medicine, as their properties can be fine-tuned to promote tighter communication between cells and implantable materials. In Subchapter 4.1, intelligent biomaterials, 3D printing–based technologies, and nanosystems for imaging and drug delivery are presented and discussed, with special emphasis to their current applications toward a sounding impact in regenerative medicine.
