Resum
Research in biomaterials and nanostructures is inspired by the search of a common goal, that is, to remedy the pain, disease, and deterioration of our bodies. Manufacture of spare parts for the human body, bothby traditional methods and using tissue engineering and cell therapy, is a major challenge in this research field. Additionally, the design of nanoparticles for drug delivery to direct a highly toxic drug dosage directly to tumors minimizing theeffect to healthy cells and ensuring the death of tumor cells without affecting healthy tissues,is also a great challenge nowadays. The incessant progress in the preparation of nanosystems with applications in the medical field in the last few years have led to new challenges in the design of smart materials able to meet clinical requirements.
