Tissue engineering

News: Recently, biogenic nanoparticles have been applied in tissue engineering (TE) to obtain improved mechanical and biological performances.

What is Tissue engineering?
 Tissue engineering is a biomedical engineering discipline that uses a combination of cells, engineering, materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to restore, maintain, improve, or replace different types of biological tissues.
 Tissue engineering utilizes biocompatible materials, such as scaffolds, and incorporates cells, growth factors, and other bioactive molecules to facilitate tissue regeneration.

What are Biogenic nanoparticles?
 Biogenic nanoparticles are nanostructure materials synthesized through biological processes that have gained significant attention due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio. Biogenic nanoparticles can be produced using various microorganisms, plants, and marine sources.
 Applications of Biogenic nanoparticles – Example, Biogenic gold nanoparticles have been used for drug delivery, biosensing, imaging, catalysis, and photothermal therapy.
 Biogenic copper nanoparticles have been used for water treatment, antimicrobial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities.
 Biogenic silver nanoparticles have shown antimicrobial, anticancer, larvicidal, leishmaniasis, wound healing, antioxidant, and sensor activities.
