Abstract
Recent advancement in nanotechnology has provided a wide range of benefits in the biological sciences, especially in the field of tissue engineering and wound healing. Nanotechnology provides an easy process for designing nanocarrier-based biomaterials for the purpose and specific needs of tissue engineering applications. Naturally available medicinal compounds have unique clinical benefits, which can be incorporated into nanobiomaterials and enhance their applications in tissue engineering. The choice of using natural compounds in tissue engineering improves treatment modalities and can deal with side effects associated with synthetic drugs. In this review article, we focus on advances in the use of nanobiomaterials to deliver naturally available medicinal compounds for tissue engineering application, including the types of biomaterials, the potential role of nanocarriers, and the various effects of naturally available medicinal compounds incorporated scaffolds in tissue engineering.
