Abstract
Nanobiomaterials can be defined as materials interacting with and influencing the biological microenvironment at a nanointerface. Recently the basic as well as applied research related to nanobiomaterials - a conjugation of nano-, material- and life- sciences - has immensely evolved for therapeutics and related biotechnology areas. The current overview focused on the potential of nanobiomaterial-based substrates towards the generation of biocompatible surfaces, tissue engineering architectures, and regenerative medicine. Emphasis was given to chemomolecular functionalization of nanobiomaterials, nanobiomaterial composites, and morphomechanically modified nanoarchetypes and their inherent chemo-biological interaction with the biological microenvironment. Additionally, recent developments in nanobiomaterial substrate design and structure, chemo-biological interface related bio-systems uses and further evolving applications in health care, therapeutics and nanomedicine were discussed herein. Furthermore, a special emphasis was placed on the nano-chemo-biological interactions inherent to various nanobiomaterial substrates in close vicinity with biological systems.
