Article Synopsis
- Current manufacturing methods for collagen fibers, like electrospinning and extrusion, face challenges in scalability, cost, and complexity, prompting the exploration of a new method called 'pneumatospinning.'
- Pneumatospinning generates submicron collagen fibers from benign solvents, resulting in high tensile strength and stable scaffolds that support stem cell attachment, offering significant advantages over traditional methods.
- This innovative technique enables the production of collagen microfibers that can be tailored for various biomedical applications, including ligament and nerve repair, all while being more efficient and cost-effective.
