摘要

Nano-biocomposite scaffolds have emerged as a promising avenue for revolutionizing healthcare practices in various medical specialties. This chapter provides an in-depth exploration of the recent advancements in nano-biocomposites and their diverse applications across orthopedics, cardiovascular, ophthalmology, dental treatment, and cancer therapy. The integration of nanotechnology with biocompatible materials has led to significant improvements in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. These innovative composites offer enhanced mechanical properties, improved biocompatibility, controlled drug delivery capabilities, and the ability to mimic the natural extracellular matrix environment within the body. Additionally, they hold great potential for addressing specific clinical challenges such as bone regeneration after trauma or disease-related defects; promoting vascularization for ischemic tissue repair; supporting corneal tissue regeneration; enhancing oral implant stability; and delivering targeted therapeutics for cancer treatment. As research continues to expand in this field, nano-biocomposite scaffolds are expected to play an increasingly pivotal role in shaping the future of medical interventions.
