(75:25) nanobrous scaffold using a rotating collector disk for collection of aligned
electrospun nanobers. These aligned nanobers were explored to fabricate tubular
scaffolds that could be used for engineering blood vessels. Their results demonstrated
that the nano-sized bers mimic the dimensions of natural ECM, provide mechani-
cal properties comparable to human coronary artery, and form a well-dened archi-
tecture for smooth muscle cell adhesion and proliferation.

Aligned bers not only
offer structural integrity but also maintain vasoactivity as they provide the necessary
mechanical strength that is needed to sustain high pressure of the human circulatory
system. Xu etal.
