It can be used for tissue repair, as tissue replacement, generation of tissues, as surgical aids and in bone repair. Cells are surrounded by extra cellular matrix (ECM). ECM is natural nanofiber structure surrounding cell. This ECM provide cell support and decides cell behaviour. ECM also helps in activity of various biological factors. Successful generation of engineered biomaterial can be used as replacement of ECM which can be utilized for regeneration of tissues. (20) Tissue engineering of bones also require complex formation of cell types such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes. This complex environment can be created by application of carbon nanotubes. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes has been proven to produce bone repair. Also, carbon nanotubes can be utilised for cardiac tissue engineering. <sup>(21, 22)<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\"><strong>Oral drug delivery:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">Oral drug delivery remains one the prominent route of drug administration. It is oldest as well as commonest route of drug administration owing to its several advantages. However, this route fails to deliver certain category of drugs like water insoluble drugs, protein and peptides, drugs which gets destroyed by gastric environment. In such cases nanotechnology can play a vital role. Drugs loaded in nanoparticles will be protected from gastric environment as well as solubility of such drugs can be increased which in turn increases the bioavailability. Also, protein and peptide delivery through oral route is possible by use of nanotechnology. <sup>(23)<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\"><strong>Parenteral drug delivery:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">In case of parenteral drug delivery nanosuspension is considered on of the best approach.

Genetic material is unstable and get easily destroyed by biological environment as well as genetic material fail to cross various biological membranes. Viral vectors are being utilised for delivery of genes conventionally. But major problem associated with viral vectors is that they may induce immunological response. <sup>(30)<\/sup> This problem can be overcome by using non-viral vectors such as liposomes, nanoparticles, nanocarriers, etc. genetic material can be encapsulated inside the carriers.
