2 “Novel biomimetic scaffold” and “Modern technology” been developed for more accuracy on positioning and viability, complexity, interaction etc., using micro and nanotechnology for production and analytical control through tools.3 Micro and nanotechnology are providing them simple substrate for adhesion and proliferation and active agents for their growth. Nanofabrication techniques, materials science,

surface, micro and nano-patterning in tissue engineering helps in providing best microenvironment where cells have to grow.4 There are several benefits of using micro and nanofabrication techniques for tissue engineering (Fig. 1). Nanotechnology C59 wnt can be used to create nanofibers, nanopatterns and controlled-release nanoparticles with applications in tissue engineering, for mimicking native tissues since biomaterials to be engineered is of nanometre size like extracellular fluids, bone marrow, cardiac tissues etc.5 It is the tools for form biomimic scaffold, and used for bone, cardiac muscle tissue engineering.

To guide cell orientation and form blood vessel-like see more structures aligned poly(L-lactic-co-ε-caprolactone) nanofibres were used.6 Using poly(lactic- co -glycolide) and poly(l-lactic acid) scaffolds neural stem cells were studied7 and these fibres are able to control scaffold function i.e. biomimicked the adhesion surface, also nanofibres with core–shell structure were used for “Controlled Release” of encapsulated molecules.8 Various nanostructures found naturally in the body (Fig. 2). Basement membrane for adhesion and affects other cellular behaviour is of 5–200 nm9 (Fig. 3). Chemically cell density increases when poly(lactic-co-glycolide) over nanosurface is treated with NaOH.10 E-beam lithography is useful in nano tissue engineering.11 Nanotechnology

helps to improved regulation of cell adhesion and vascularisation e.g. compatible epithelial basement membrane like structure formed from carbon nanotube in osteoblast cells adhesion also nanofibres on glass as substrate used for same but earlier one is more efficient.12 Methods for inducing self assembly in tissue engineering are biomimetic coating, electrolytic deposition (ELD) and pH induction and many materials used such as peptide amphiphile (PA), hyaluronan, chitosan, and apatite/amelogenin.5 and 13 Sheets/fibres of self assembled peptides formed because of hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions and further assembly is because of charge shielding in the form of hydrogels.
