“…Therefore, it promotes the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) [195]. Other researchers are also looking for new solutions from more herbal medicines, such as Plastrum Testudinis [185] for the treatment of disc inflammation, Elaeagnus angustifolia (EA) [52] for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, Clove [109] and Ziziphus jujuba [21] for the treatment of periodontal disease, and Amla oil [56] with rich antioxidant and mineral components. Berberine [229] for increased membrane permeability, Spinacia oleracea (SO) [19] for high quercetin content, Henna/Thyme [31] and cinnamon [43], Naringin [259] for antibacterial implants.…”

“…Nanofibers can be used as appropriate scaffolds to promote cell attachment and growth by creating a three-dimensional ECM to improve damaged tissue and repair organ function [43]. Some studies have shown that nanofibers can be used for bone transplantation [56], neuronal repair [50], skin regeneration and other tissue regeneration [109].…”

Herbal medicine has a long history of medical efficacy with low toxicity, side effects and good biocompatibility. However, the bioavailability of the extract of raw herbs and bioactive compounds is poor because of their low water solubility. In order to overcome the solubility issues, electrospinning technology can offer a delivery alternative to resolve them. The electrospun fibers have the advantages of high specific surface area, high porosity, excellent mechanical strength and flexible structures. At the same time, various natural and synthetic polymer-bound fibers can mimic extracellular matrix applications in different medical fields. In this paper, the development of electrospinning technology and polymers used for incorporating herbal medicine into electrospun nanofibers are reviewed. Finally, the recent progress of the applications of these herbal medicine nanofibers in biomedical (drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue engineering) and food fields along with their future prospects is discussed.
