engineering to treat skin cancer and other diseases

Abstract

The ability of the body to restore its integrity subsequent to many different kinds of injury is essential for the maintenance of life. Any living organism, in its constant interaction with the environment and with other organisms, eventually faces adverse situations, such as, infections or many other diseases as Cancer, Parkinson Alzheimer and other that might to be treated to repair or reconstitute its body structures in order to preserve the original tissue function. Today there are a  new field of medicine that are in charge of the development of these  new techniques and therapeutic approaches to repair and restore cells , tissue and body integrity know  generally a as  Tissue Engineering. Defined as a therapeutic approach that use biomaterials in association with small molecules, cells lines, genes, or other biological material to maintain, replace, or repair organ function with the objective of correcting the underlying pathology as example Cancer. Most of the work developed until now are based on the use of engineered cells, tissues, associated with synthetic materials that can potentially extend and improve a patient’s life. Cancer and many other non-oncological diseases has been used nanotechnology associate with the development of DDS and photoprocess to improve the treatment of clinical protocol to treat skin cancer and other cancers. The association of tissue engineering models, nanotechnology and photoprocess (drugs working by light activation- PDT) will be discuss in this in this tutorial, presenting the future advantages of these combination not only applicable to cancer treatment, but also to other diseases, as neuro degenerative diseases.
