Integrating Microtissues in Nanofiber Scaffolds for Regenerative Nanomedicine

Materials (Basel). 2015 Oct 9;8(10):6863-6867. doi: 10.3390/ma8105342.

Abstract

A new generation of biomaterials focus on smart materials incorporating cells. Here, we describe a novel generation of synthetic nanofibrous implant functionalized with living microtissues for regenerative nanomedicine. The strategy designed here enhances the effectiveness of therapeutic implants compared to current approaches used in the clinic today based on single cells added to the implant.

Keywords: bone regeneration; microtissues; nanofibrous implant; regenerative nanomedicine.
