“…1d, limits the sliding of fibres on top of each other during tensile deformation, resulting in a lower elongation. Similar behaviour has been observed, for example, for Polyethersulfone electrospun membranes after thermal treatment and for composite Polycaprolactone, collagen and elastin fibres [45,46]. Once tight cohesion between the fibres has been established, the elongation at break of the electrospun mat decreases, contrary to the tensile strength, which increases.…”

Here the effect of tea tree and manuka essential oils (EOs) on the mechanical properties and antibacterial activity of electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) fibres is investigated. It is found that the essential oils work as plasticisers for PLA, lowering the glass transition temperature of the resulting composite fibres up to 60% and increasing elongation-at-break and tensile strength up to 12 times. Manuka EO is particularly successful in blocking the formation of biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis that is typically involved in nosocomial infections associated with implanted devices. The results demonstrate that natural extracts can be used to control the mechanical behaviour of PLA fibres and to confer antibacterial activity.

“…In recent years, electrospinning technology has become more and more popular for the production of nanofiber mats. The possibility to produce textile fabrics out of nanofibers has attracted interest in various areas of science, such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with a rapid increase in recent years [1,2,3,4]. This technology offers several advantages which enable the growth of eukaryotic cells on nanofibrous textiles.…”

Pleurotus ostreatus is a well-known edible mushroom species which shows fast growth. The fungus can be used for medical, nutritional, filter, or packaging purposes. In this study, cultivation experiments were carried out with Pleurotus ostreatus growing on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats in the presence of saccharose and Lutrol F68. The aim of this study was to find out whether modified PAN nanofiber mats are well suited for the growth of fungal mycelium, to increase growth rates and to affect mycelium fiber morphologies. Our results show that Pleurotus ostreatus mycelium grows on nanofiber mats in different morphologies, depending on the specific substrate, and can be used to produce a composite from fungal mycelium and nanofiber mats for biomedical and biotechnological applications.

“…These advanced set-ups have the ability to produce scaffolds with multiple layers, made of multiple materials, with gradients, with fiber alignment, with multiphasic fibers, with core-shell fibers, with drug-loaded fibers, etc [Subbiah et al, 2005;Moghe and Gupta, 2008;Sill and von Recum, 2008;Bhardwaj and Kundu, 2010]. Therefore, it has been extensively used in the research focusing on the development of scaffolds for various TERM applications [Lelkens et al, 2008;Sell et al, 2010;Jin et al, 2012;Jiang et al, 2014;Erdem et al, 2016;Kennedy et al, 2016;Pien et al, 2021]. In Table 3, a summary of recent research studies using sES for the fabrication of tubular scaffolds for the regeneration of the 4 tubular organs described in Part 1 is given.…”

In this featured review manuscript, the aim is to present a critical survey on the processes available for fabricating bioartificial organs (BAOs). The focus will be on hollow tubular organs for the transport of anabolites and catabolites, i.e., vessels, trachea, esophagus, ureter and urethra, and intestine. First, the anatomic hierarchical structures of tubular organs, as well as their principal physiological functions, will be presented, as this constitutes the mandatory requirements for effectively designing and developing physiologically relevant BAOs. Second, 3D bioprinting, solution electrospinning, and melt electrowriting will be introduced, together with their capacity to match the requirements imposed by designing scaffolds compatible with the anatomical and physiologically relevant environment. Finally, the intrinsic correlation between processes, materials, and cells will be critically discussed, and directives defining the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities offered by each process will be proposed for assisting bioengineers in the selection of the appropriate process for the target BAO and its specific required functions.
