Abstract

In more than one decade, cell transplantation has created an important strategy to treat a wide variety of diseases characterized by tissue and cell dysfunctions. In this course of action, cell delivery to target site has been always one of the most important constraints and complications, as only a small proportion of the cells are housed in the target sites. Nanotechnology and nanoscale biomaterials have been helpful for cell transplantation in various fields of regenerative medicine including diagnosis, delivery systems for the cell, drug or gene, and cells protection system. In this study, the basic concepts and recently studied aspects of cell delivery systems based on nanoscale biomaterials for transplantation and clinical applications are highlighted. Nanomaterials may be used in combination with cell therapy to control the release of drugs or special factors of engineered cells after transplantation. © 2017, The Japanese Society for Clinical Molecular Morphology.
