Purpose/Context.

The article aims to provide an overview of disruptive technologies in regenerative medicine as a solution to obtaining artificial organs and tissues. Existing methods such as transplants and xenotransplants have proven to be ineffective in resolving this world public health problem.

Method/Approach.

Technologies such as tissue engineering, genetic engineering, nanomedicine, and nanotechnology are addressed, which seek to replace or improve current methods.

Results/Findings.

Disruptive technologies involve bioethical aspects that must be considered from another perspective. The manipulation of matter on atomic and molecular scales opens up countless possibilities for improving the quality of human life and even extending it. As a result, the concept of nanobioethics has emerged, which takes the principles of contemporary bioethics and projects them on nanometric scales to analyze the positive and negative implications for life in these dimensions.

Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions.

Advances and disruptive technologies impact health care, produce sociocultural changes, and give rise to new paradigms, posing scientific, technical, and bioethical challenges.
