Abstract: Microwave-Assisted Synthesis (MAS) has emerged as a groundbreaking technique revolutionizing
the field of biomedical and tissue engineering. This review aims to explore the fundamental
principles, techniques, and applications of MAS in these domains. Beginning with an overview
highlighting its significance, we delve into the basic principles, mechanisms, and comparative
analysis with conventional methods. Subsequently, the review explores MAS techniques in biomaterial
synthesis, tissue scaffold fabrication, functionalization, and nanomaterial synthesis, along
with their role in drug delivery systems. We then examine its diverse applications, including rapid
biomaterial synthesis, property tailoring, biocompatibility enhancements, and tissue regeneration
strategies. Furthermore, we address the challenges and future perspectives, focusing on safety considerations,
understanding cellular responses, integration with advanced technologies, regulatory
aspects, and future directions. This comprehensive review underscores MAS as a transformative
tool driving innovations in biomedical research and therapeutic applications.
