Abstract

The multidisciplinary area of tissue engineering unifies various fields such as medical biology, engineering, and material science that focus on develo** biological alternatives to increase the functions of organs or tissue or to replace or repair the damaged tissue and organs. Though tissue engineering technique has progressed in the scientific field, it still confronts with various challenges; for example, insufficient synthesis of growth factors required for cell-to-cell communication, the toxicity of the biomaterials used, and inability to regulate the cellular functions are the major drawbacks in the field of tissue engineering. Therefore, there is an elevating concern about the significance of the proper insight into the behavior and nature of the nanoparticles. Nanoparticles due to their specific size-dependent characteristics have exhibited their potential in solving several challenges encountered by tissue engineering. However, in spite of the immense advancement of nanoparticles for their application, the complete potentiality of nanoparticles in resolving tissue engineering challenges is still to be analyzed. This chapter represents an outline of various categories of nanoparticles and their potent applications in the challenges of tissue engineering which are necessary to prevail by nanotechnology to attain its complete potentiality.
