The usage of a guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane that prevents the ingrowth of fibroblast cells and enhances the regeneration rate is an effective strategy for bone regeneration therapy. Herein, LAPONITE® (LAP) nanoplatelets, a bioactive clay with good osteoinductivity, were incorporated within a regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) microfibrous mat via electrospinning. The as-prepared RSF-LAP hybrid microfibrous mats had an interconnected structure with pore size significantly smaller than that of the fibroblast cells, leading to an effective prevention of fibroblast cell ingrowth into the defect sites. As per the water contact angle measurements, the incorporation of LAP significantly improved the hydrophilicity of the RSF microfibrous mats. The in vitro cell experiment results show that the RSF-LAP microfibrous mats exhibited better cell adhesion and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) than the pristine RSF microfibrous mats. Moreover, the RSF-LAP microfibrous mats promoted osteogenic differentiation by upregulating alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteo-specific gene expression. Therefore, the results suggest that this easily fabricated LAP-incorporated RSF microfibrous mat has great potential to be a promising biomaterial for GBR applications.

Electrospinning was used to create fibrous polylactide (PLA) materials loaded with ( plant extract obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide. Morphological, physico-chemical, mechanical, and biological characteristics of the fibers were studied. According to the SEM results, the diameters of smooth and defect-free fibers fabricated by a one-pot electrospinning method were at micron scale.

The wounds arising out of underlying hyperglycemic conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers demand a multifunctional tissue regeneration approach owing to several deficiencies in the healing mechanisms. Herein, four different types of electrospun microfibers by combining Rohu fish skin-derived collagen (Fcol) with a bioactive glass (BAG)/ion-doped bioactive glass, namely, Fcol/BAG, Fcol/CuBAG, Fcol/CoBAG, and Fcol/CuCoBAG was developed to accelerate wound healing through stimulation of key events such as angiogenesis and ECM re-construction under diabetic conditions. SEM analysis shows the porous and microfibrous architecture, while the EDX mapping provides evidence of the incorporation of dopants inside various inorganic-organic composite mats.

The bio/sensors performance has been established to be significantly affected through partially or entirely alignment of nano/microfibrous in polymeric mats. The matter of crystalline/amorphous proportion in semicrystalline polymers is another factor that can affect the application of the piezoelectric patches. The present work deals with fabricating the scaffolds of micro/nanofibers through a modified electrospinning procedure.

Maltodextrins are inexpensive, water-soluble starch hydrolysis products composed of high molecular weight polysaccharide molecules. This feature allows their water solutions to be processed by electrospinning to produce bio-based microfibrous mats. Also, the presence of hydroxyl functions along the maltodextrin's backbone enables cross-linking reactions to be performed, necessary to overcome the intrinsic solubility of the starting material, by exploiting suitable functional molecules.
