Venn diagram showing the crossover between tissue-specific ECM and advances in nanotechnology. As manufacturing techniques improve, eg, advances in photolithography, higher resolution, and more biomimetic scaffolds become available. Similarly, as knowledge of the natural tissue ECM improves, currently available techniques can be utilized to better mimic the natural ECM. In the overlap between nanotechnology, manufacturing techniques, and knowledge of the natural ECM lays the possibility of successful biomimetic scaffold design for nanotechnology.
