Abstract

Advances in carbon nanotube production and chemical modifications have significant effects on biomedical applications, including tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Unique properties of carbon nanotubes such as a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, tailorable characteristics, and optical properties have made them a potential candidate for sensing microenvironments, tracking cells, and delivering therapeutic agents, as well as scaffolding for integration into the host’s body. Indeed, because of the biocompatibility and hemocompatibility of carbon structures, they can be used as fibers in artificial organs as a strengthening agent or as implant coating materials. This chapter summarizes the faithful applications of carbon nanotubes, their rational modifications, and current shortcomings in tissue engineering, with a focus on their usage in bone, nerve, and cardiac tissue regeneration. Overall, this chapter offers carbon nanotubes as a promising mechanistic infrastructure for the next-generation tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. © 2023 WILEY-VCH GmbH, Boschstr. 69469 Weinheim, Germany.
