Harnessing nanotechnology in regenerative medicine: drug delivery, wound healing and tissue engineering

Nanotechnology is revolutionizing regenerative medicine by enhancing drug delivery, accelerating wound healing and advancing tissue engineering. What is nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is the manipulation of materials at nanoscale dimensions [1]. Here, we will explore its relevance, application and current developments in regenerative medicine. From nanotechnology to nanomedicine Nanomedicine, a branch of nanotechnology, harnesses nanoscale materials to diagnose, prevent and treat diseases. The Glossary for Advanced Therapies defines nanomedicine as “the application of nanotechnologies to benefit human health by preventing and treating disease” [2]. With the ability to interact with cells and tissues at a molecular level, nanotechnology enables precise therapeutic interventions...
