It has been reported that chitin-chitosan/nano Ti02-composite scaffolds has wide applications in tissue engineering field [85]. Current research has developed a novel immunoassay strategy based on combination of chitosan and a gold nanoparticle label [86] which explored the unanimous role of chitosan in biochemical research. Further bioinspired mineralization of chitosan-based nanocomplexes encouraged its role in bone tissue engineering applications [87]. Fabrication of chitosan/ZnO... 

This chapter presents an overview and recent advances of nanocomposites for scaffold-based mnscnloskeletal tissue regeneration. Critical design considerations of nanocomposites are discussed with a focus on the efforts to achieve optimal cell-material interactions. It further reviews different fabrication strategies to engineer nanocomposites for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration.
