Significant progress has been made over the years in the development of in vitro-
engineered substitutes that mimic human skin, either to be used as grafts for the …

Patients with extensive burns rely on the use of tissue engineered skin due to a lack of
sufficient donor tissue, but it is a challenge to identify reliable and economical scaffold …

Full‐thickness skin wounds, associated with deep burns or chronic wounds pose a major
clinical problem. Herein, the development of in situ forming hydrogel using a natural silk …

Silks are naturally occurring polymers that have been used clinically as sutures for centuries.
When naturally extruded from insects or worms, silk is composed of a filament core protein …

We obtained low and high porosity synthetic human elastin scaffolds by adapting low (1
mL/h) and high (3 mL/h) flow rates respectively during electrospinning. Physical, mechanical …

Due to the difficulty in handling micro and nanoscale fibers and measuring the small load
required for deformation, mechanical properties of these fibers have not been widely …

Melt electrospinning in a direct writing mode is a recent additive manufacturing approach to
fabricate porous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. In this study, we describe …

Engineered human skin is commonly fabricated using collagen scaffolds that often have
poor mechanical properties. To improve the strength of collagen-based scaffolds, poly …

Written by more than 400 subject experts representing diverse academic and applied
domains, this multidisciplinary resource surveys the vanguard of biomaterials and …

Tissue engineering scaffolds produced by electrospinning feature a structural similarity to
the natural extracellular matrix. In this study, poly (lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) and …
