Abstract

In the past few decades, the definition of tissue engineering has changed as driven by the scientific progress but, in practice, this technology stands to represent applications that repair or replace structural and functional tissues with any deformities. Biomaterials (nanofiber scaffolds) is an interdisciplinary science aspires to design artefacts with specific characteristics, namely, mimic the natural environment; temporarily fill the gap until tissue is regenerated; and serve as a guide for growing cells/tissue. With ...
