Application of polymeric nanofibers in soft tissues regeneration

Abstract: Nanotechnology has wide applications in many fields, especially in the biological sciences and medicine. Nanomaterials are applied as potential materials for treatment and diagnosis. The development of nanofibers has greatly enhanced the scope for fabricating designs that can potentially be used in medical sciences. The application of polymeric nanofibers in biomaterials sciences and tissue engineering review in fields of skin and eye, neural and cardiovascular tissues, and urological tissues.

“…To address these challenges, finding alternatives to autologous vessels have attracted so much attention and the efforts have focused on developing vascular substitutes . Synthetic polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyurethane (PU), poly( l ‐lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) have been utilized to introduce cardiovascular devices such as vascular graft, artificial heart, and heart valves for the matter of their biocompatibility and controlled mechanical properties.…”

“…In addition, donor site allogeneic response and morbidity also limit the widespread use of autologous transplantation [ 6 ]. As a relatively new and attractive approach, tissue engineering has been used to develop new biological substitutes to overcome barriers of current clinical treatments for repairing and regenerating damaged or diseased soft tissues and organs [ 7 ].…”

“…The most common nanostructures used in TE are fullerenes, dendrimers, hydrogels, aerogels, nanorods, nano composites, nanowires, nanofibers, nanoparticles, quantum dots etc. 35,[64][65][66][67][68] Nanofibers display better physical & mechanical properties. It has improved cell adhesion properties due to its high porosity which simulate the extracellular matrix (ECM) and make it suitable for tissue regeneration, drug delivery, wound dressing and medical prostheses.…”
