Abstract
An advanced material in health care is an important aspect prevailing today.
It is necessary to recognize that they are not inl uenced like older traditional
materials, reactive chemicals which are prone to arduously react and corrode
in ambient environments. Health care with these advanced materials assure the
satisfactory performance within their design for which life is approached and
enhanced in a compatible way. Sensors for medical and diagnostic application,
light and energy harvesting devices, along with multifunctional architectures
for electronics and advance drug-delivery are pursued by countless advanced
materials in term of health care for various uses. In addition, drug medicine has
recently immerged as an ef ective means to combine upcoming technology for
development towards a clinical application. In vitro analysis and animal studies
had lead to aforementioned researches. h ere is no doubt that their results had
given a precious fundamental concept for understanding the disease process,
behaviour and interactions of advance materials with live tissue. However, future
and next generation researches are now warranted to promote translation of the
knowledge into toxic studies, and broaden the researches with human model
studies. h is is the aspect where tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
which manifested is most important. With recent studies, autotranplantation of
whole tissue unit had been more possible than ever by the scientists. Moreover
in-depth understanding of pathology using engineered tissue as disease model
would enable the development of better treatment and help the individual to
