and adhesion of proteins, growth factors, and enzymes needed for cell survival and
function (Nisbet etal., 2009). The 3D brous scaffolds composed of nanoscale mul-
tibrils prepared with the aim of mimicking the supramolecular architecture and
the biological functions of the natural ECM as much as possible have attracted a
great deal of attention in skin tissue engineering. They have shown great potential
