Popis: As an interdisciplinary field, tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate tissues by combining the principles of cell biology, material science, and biomedical engineering. Nanotechnology creates new materials that might enable further tissue-engineering applications. In this context, the introduction of nanotechnology and nanomaterials promises a biomimetic approach by mimicking nature. This review summarizes the current scope of nanotechnology implementation possibilities in the field of tissue engineering of bone, muscle, and vascular grafts with forms on nanofibrous structures.
