Nanomaterials for Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Muscle - based tissue engineering for the musculoskeletal system Review

Somatic gene therapy through the transfer of genes into a particular tissue to alleviate a biochemical deficiency has emerged as a novel and exciting form of molecular medicine. Due to a number of factors, muscle tissue has emerged as a promising target for muscle based gene therapy and tissue engineering. First, many muscle groups are readily accessible and tolerate delivery by injection well....

Nanomaterials for Tissue Engineering In Dentistry

The tissue engineering (TE) of dental oral tissue is facing significant changes in clinical treatments in dentistry. TE is based on a stem cell, signaling molecule, and scaffold triad that must be known and calibrated with attention to specific sectors in dentistry. This review article shows a summary of micro- and nanomorphological characteristics of dental tissues, of stem cells available in ...

Nanomaterials for Cardiac Myocyte Tissue Engineering

Since their synthesizing introduction to the research community, nanomaterials have infiltrated almost every corner of science and engineering. Over the last decade, one such field has begun to look at using nanomaterials for beneficial applications in tissue engineering, specifically, cardiac tissue engineering. During a myocardial infarction, part of the cardiac muscle, or myocardium, is depr...

Tissue Engineering in Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Sciences

Orthopaedic surgery as a speciality lends itself well to tissue engineering. Many musculoskeletal tissues are frequently damaged or lost in injury and disease, and show a limited capacity for repair. Although orthopaedic surgery has been successful in replacing cartilage, the coming years will establish whether a shift from replacement towards regeneration of tissue is feasible. There has been ...
