Nanotechnology has made inroads into the field of regenerative medicine. The most recent is nanofiber technology which is developed by electrospinning however it is still being proven with experiments. This technology has made it possible for the development of scaffolds whereby cells can now adhere to a substrate. This advancement in tissue engineering can assist in the regeneration of bones, skin heart cornea and other human systems. There has also been experimental research done on rats that be used in the treatment of spinal cord injuries through microfibre technology. Nanotechnology as regenerative cellular technology finds its way in the replacement of cells that have been lost due to diseases such as Alzheimer’s and other illnesses. There is still much to be researched in this emerging field of research. Nanotechnology will become a way of life shortly with humans living disease-free lives [10].
