Abstract:

Skin regeneration using electrospun nanofibres has received a great deal of attention for treating patients suffering from acute burn injuries and chronic non-healing wounds like diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers and so on. Currently available skin substitutes which restores the tissue function have had limited success. Tissue engineering has been exploited to design a scaffold which mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) in its structure and function. Recently electrospinning has emerged as an important technique for fabricating these scaffolds because of its unique ability to generate nanofibres with appropriate ...
