Mokarami MSA, Sereshti H. Fabrication of a green double-layered hybrid nanocomposite via electrospinning of polyethersulphone/natural deep eutectic solvent on bacterial cellulose for determination of multiclass pesticides in water samples. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1735:465267. [PMID: 39241404 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.465267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024]
Abstract
A novel nanofibrous double-layered biosorbent was fabricated by electrospinning polyethersulfone (PES) doped with a natural deep eutectic solvent (DES), composed of choline chloride (ChCl) and caffeic acid (CFA) in a 3:1 molar ratio, onto a bacterial cellulose (BC) substrate. The pristine PES/DES@BC biosorbent was employed in a thin film-solid phase microextraction (TF-SPME) to extract 12 multiclass pesticides from water. Characterization techniques, including ATR-FTIR, FT-NMR, SEM, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, confirmed the nanofibrous structure of the electrospun PES-DES and BC biopolymer. The method was validated for matrix effect, specificity, reproducibility, limits of quantification (0.03-0.10 µg/L), and enrichment factor (7-14). Matrix-match calibration linearity ranged from 0.03 to 500 μg/L, with determination coefficients (r²) between 0.9884 and 0.9994. Intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 1.2-3.6 % and 7.0-9.3 %, respectively. The composition of the biosorbent and the fabrication reproducibility across different batches were also thoroughly examined. The accuracy was evaluated by measuring extraction recoveries in six environmental water samples, which ranged from 75 to 105 % (RSDs < 9.0 %). Furthermore, the sustainability of the method was evaluated with the Analytical Eco-Scale and Analytical Greenness metrics. To our knowledge, this study represents the first synthesis and combination of [ChCl:[CFA] DES with PES to create a double-layered nanofiber biosorbent, as well as its application for extracting various pesticide groups from water samples.

Abstract
Electrospun membranes are widely used in tissue engineering. Regretfully, there is limited research on how its morphological characteristics precisely regulate macrophage activation and immune response. Therefore, electrospun poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) membranes with different alignments (align and random) and diameters (nanoscale and microscale) are prepared to investigate the effects of different surface morphologies on M2 macrophage polarization. Additionally, transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome sequencings are combined to examine the underlying regulatory mechanisms. The results show that the electrospun PLLA membranes with different surface morphologies have good biocompatibility and can regulate the phenotype and function of macrophages by changing the micromorphology of the matrix surface. Especially, macrophages cultured on the electrospun membranes of the A600 group exhibit higher M2 macrophage polarization than the other three groups. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that electrospun PLLA membranes enhance AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/ mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling activation by upregulating the expression of integrin phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (PCK2), which is critical for M2 macrophage polarization. Taken together, electrospun PLLA membranes promote M2 macrophage polarization by regulating the PCK2/AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. This research can provide further theoretical bases for scaffold design, immunoregulatory mechanisms, and clinical application based on electrospinning technology in the future.

Abstract
Flexible temperature sensors have diverse applications and a great potential in the field of temperature monitoring, including healthcare, smart homes and the automotive industry. However, the current flexible temperature sensor preparation generally suffers from process complexity, which limits its development and application. In this paper, a nickel oxide (NiO) flexible temperature sensor based on a low-temperature sintering technology is introduced. The prepared NiO flexible temperature sensor has a high-resolution temperature measurement performance and good stability, including temperature detection over a wide temperature range of (25 to 70 °C) and a high sensitivity performance (of a maximum TCR of -5.194%°C-1 and a thermal constant of 3938 K). The rapid response time of this temperature sensor was measured to be 2 s at 27-50 °C, which ensures the accuracy and reliability of the measurement. The NiO flexible temperature sensor prepared by electrohydrodynamic direct writing has a stable performance and good flexibility in complex environments. The temperature sensor can be used to monitor the temperature status of the equipment and prevent failure or damage caused by overheating.

Abstract
The increasing prominence of biologics in the pharmaceutical market requires more advanced delivery systems to deliver these delicate and complex drug molecules for better therapeutic outcomes. Fibre technology has emerged as a promising approach for creating controlled and targeted drug delivery systems. Fibre-based drug delivery systems offer unprecedented opportunities for improving drug administration, fine-tuning release profiles, and advancing the realm of personalized medicine. These applications range from localized delivery at specific tissue sites to systemic drug administration while safeguarding the stability and integrity of delicate therapeutic compounds. Notwithstanding the promise of fibre-based drug delivery, several challenges such as non-scalability impede cost-effectiveness in the mass production of fibre systems. Biocompatibility and toxicity concerns must also be addressed. Furthermore, issues relating to stability, in-vitro in-vivo correlations, degradation rates, and by-product safety present additional hurdles. Pharmacoinformatics shows the impact of technologies in pharmaceutical processes. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) are a transformative force, progressively being applied to enhance various facets of pharmacy, medication development, and clinical healthcare support. However, there is a dearth of studies about the integration of AI in facilitating the translation of predominantly lab-scale pharmaceutical technologies into real-world healthcare interventions. This article explores the application of AI in fibre technology, its potential, challenges, and practical applications within the pharmaceutical field. Through a comprehensive analysis, it presents how the immense capabilities of AI can be leveraged with existing fibre technologies to revolutionize drug delivery and shape the future of therapeutic interventions by enhancing scalability, material integrity, synthesis, and development.

Abstract
In this study, polyimide (PI) and polysulfonamide (PSA) were used as base materials, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added to successfully prepare PI/PSA/PEG nanofiber membranes through electrospinning technology. Subsequently, water etching was performed on the membranes, utilizing the water solubility of PEG to form the rough wrinkled structure, further enhancing the surface hydrophobicity. The experimental results showed that under the conditions of a spinning voltage of 10 kV, PI/PSA mass fraction of 15 wt.%, and PEG-to-PI/PSA mass ratio of 1/3, the obtained fiber membranes exhibit a uniform morphology (an average diameter of 0.73 µm) and excellent hydrophobicity (the initial water contact angle (WCA) reaching 130.4°). After PEG water etching, the surface of the PI/PSA/PEG hydrophobic membranes formed the rough wrinkled structure, which not only improved their mechanical properties but also further enhanced their hydrophobicity (the initial WCA increasing to 137.9°). Hence, fiber membranes are expected to have broad application prospects in fields such as waterproofing and moisture permeability.

Abstract
Over the last decade, scientists have shifted their focus to the development of smart carriers for the delivery of chemotherapeutics in order to overcome the problems associated with traditional chemotherapy, such as poor aqueous solubility and bioavailability, low selectivity and targeting specificity, off-target drug side effects, and damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Nanofiber-based drug delivery systems have recently emerged as a promising drug delivery system in cancer therapy owing to their unique structural and functional properties, including tunable interconnected porosity, a high surface-to-volume ratio associated with high entrapment efficiency and drug loading capacity, and high mass transport properties, which allow for controlled and targeted drug delivery. In addition, they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and capable of surface functionalization, allowing for target-specific delivery and drug release. One of the most common fiber production methods is electrospinning, even though the relatively two-dimensional (2D) tightly packed fiber structures and low production rates have limited its performance. Forcespinning is an alternative spinning technology that generates high-throughput, continuous polymeric nanofibers with 3D structures. Unlike electrospinning, forcespinning generates fibers by centrifugal forces rather than electrostatic forces, resulting in significantly higher fiber production. The functionalization of nanocarriers on nanofibers can result in smart nanofibers with anticancer capabilities that can be activated by external stimuli, such as light. This review addresses current trends and potential applications of light-responsive and dual-stimuli-responsive electro- and forcespun smart nanofibers in cancer therapy, with a particular emphasis on functionalizing nanofiber surfaces and developing nano-in-nanofiber emerging delivery systems for dual-controlled drug release and high-precision tumor targeting. In addition, the progress and prospective diagnostic and therapeutic applications of light-responsive and dual-stimuli-responsive smart nanofibers are discussed in the context of combination cancer therapy.

Abstract
Carbon nanofiber membranes (CNMs) are expected to be used in many energy devices to improve the reaction rate. In this paper, CNMs embedded with palladium nanoparticles (Pd-CNMs) were prepared by electrospinning and carbonization using polyimide as the raw material. The effects of carbonization temperature, carbonization atmosphere, and heating rate on the physicochemical properties of the as-obtained Pd-CNMs were studied in detail. On this basis, the electrocatalytic performance of Pd-CNMs prepared under optimal conditions was characterized. The results showed that highly active zero-valent palladium nanoparticles with uniform particle size could be distributed on the surface of carbon nanofibers. Under vacuum conditions, at a carbonization temperature of 800 °C and a heating rate of 2 °C min-1, Pd-CNMs have lower H2O2 yield, lower Tafel slope (73.3 mV dec-1), higher electron transfer number (∼4), and superior durability, suggesting that Pd-CNMs exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity for ORR in alkaline electrolyte. Therefore, polyimide-derived CNMs embedded with Pd nanoparticles are expected to become an excellent cathode catalyst layer for fuel cells.

Abstract
With the development of renewable energy technologies, the demand for efficient energy storage systems is growing. Supercapacitors have attracted considerable attention as efficient electrical energy storage devices because of their excellent power density, fast charging and discharging capabilities, and long cycle life. Carbon nanofibers are widely used as electrode materials in supercapacitors because of their excellent mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and light weight. Although environmental factors are increasingly driving the application of circular economy concepts in materials science, lignin is an underutilized but promising environmentally benign electrode material for supercapacitors. Lignin-based carbon nanofibers are ideal for preparing high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials owing to their unique chemical stability, abundance, and environmental friendliness. Electrospinning is a well-known technique for producing large quantities of uniform lignin-based nanofibers, and is the simplest method for the large-scale production of lignin-based carbon nanofibers with specific diameters. This paper reviews the latest research progress in the preparation of lignin-based carbon nanofibers using the electrospinning technology, discusses the prospects of their application in supercapacitors, and analyzes the current challenges and future development directions. This is expected to have an enlightening effect on subsequent research.

Abstract
Nanofiber technology is leading the revolution of wearable technology and provides a unique capability to fabricate smart textiles. With the novel fabrication technique of electrospinning, nanofibers can be fabricated and then manufactured into a durable conductive string for the application of smart textiles. This paper presents an electrospun nanofiber mesh-based (NF-Felt) string electrode with a conducting polymer coating for an electrochemical enzymatic glucose sensor. The surface area of a nanofiber matrix is a key physical property for enhanced glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme binding for the development of an electrochemical biosensor. A morphological characterization of the NF-Felt string electrode was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and compared with a commercially available cotton-polyester (Cot-Pol) string coated with the same conducting polymer. The results from stress-strain testing demonstrated high stretchability of the NF-Felt string. Also, the electrochemical characterization results showed that the NF-Felt string electrode was able to detect a glucose concentration in the range between 0.0 mM and 30.0 mM with a sensitivity of 37.4 μA/mM·g and a detection limit of 3.31 mM. Overall, with better electrochemical performance and incredible flexibility, the NF-Felt-based string electrode is potentially more suitable for designing wearable biosensors for the detection of glucose in sweat.

Abstract
In recent years, Solution Blow Spinning (SBS) has emerged as a new technology for the production of polymeric, nanocomposite, and ceramic materials in the form of nano and microfibers, with similar features to those achieved by other procedures. The advantages of SBS over other spinning methods are the fast generation of fibers and the simplicity of the experimental setup that opens up the possibility of their on-site production. While producing a large number of nanofibers in a short time is a crucial factor in large-scale manufacturing, in situ generation, for example, in the form of sprayable, multifunctional dressings, capable of releasing embedded active agents on wounded tissue, or their use in operating rooms to prevent hemostasis during surgical interventions, open a wide range of possibilities. The interest in this spinning technology is evident from the growing number of patents issued and articles published over the last few years. Our focus in this review is on the biomedicine-oriented applications of SBS for the production of nanofibers based on the collection of the most relevant scientific papers published to date. Drug delivery, 3D culturing, regenerative medicine, and fabrication of biosensors are some of the areas in which SBS has been explored, most frequently at the proof-of-concept level. The promising results obtained demonstrate the potential of this technology in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields.

Int J Pharm 2023; 643:123258. [PMID: 37479102 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Feasibility of electrospinning in the manufacturing of sildenafil-containing orodispersible films (ODFs) intended to enhance oxygenation and to reduce pulmonary arterial pressure in pediatric patients was evaluated. Given the targeted subjects, the simplest and safest formulation was chosen, using water as the only solvent and pullulan, a natural polymer, as the sole fiber-forming agent. A systematic characterization in terms of shear and extensional viscosity as well as surface tension of solutions containing different amounts of pullulan and sildenafil was carried out. Accordingly, electrospinning parameters enabling the continuous production, at the highest possible rate, of defect-free fibers with uniform diameter in the nanometer range were assessed. Morphology, microstructure, drug content and relevant solid state as well as ability of the resulting non-woven films to interact with aqueous fluids were evaluated. To better define the role of the fibrous nanostructure on the performance of ODFs, analogous films were produced by spin- and blade-coating and tested. Interestingly, the disintegration process of electrospun products turned out to be the fastest (i.e. occurring within few s) and compliant with Ph. Eur. and USP limits, making relevant ODFs particularly promising for increasing sildenafil bioavailability, thus lowering its dosages.

Abstract
A hydrogel is a three-dimensional (3D) network structure formed through polymer crosslinking, and these have emerged as a popular research topic in recent years. Hydrogel crosslinking can be classified as physical, chemical, or enzymatic, and photocrosslinking is a branch of chemical crosslinking. Compared with other methods, photocrosslinking can control the hydrogel crosslinking initiation, crosslinking time, and crosslinking strength using light. Owing to these properties, photocrosslinked hydrogels have important research prospects in tissue engineering, in situ gel formation, 3D bioprinting, and drug delivery. Methacrylic anhydride modification is a common method for imparting photocrosslinking properties to polymers, and graft-substituted polymers can be photocrosslinked under UV irradiation. In this review, we first introduce the characteristics of common natural polysaccharide- and protein-based hydrogels and the processes used for methacrylate group modification. Next, we discuss the applications of methacrylated natural hydrogels in tissue engineering. Finally, we summarize and discuss existing methacrylated natural hydrogels in terms of limitations and future developments. We expect that this review will help researchers in this field to better understand the synthesis of methacrylate-modified natural hydrogels and their applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Despite the widespread interest in electrospinning technology, very few simulation studies have been conducted. Thus, the current research produced a system for providing a sustainable and effective electrospinning process by combining the design of experiments with machine learning prediction models. Specifically, in order to estimate the diameter of the electrospun nanofiber membrane, we developed a locally weighted kernel partial least squares regression (LW-KPLSR) model based on a response surface methodology (RSM). The accuracy of the model's predictions was evaluated based on its root mean square error (RMSE), its mean absolute error (MAE), and its coefficient of determination (R2). In addition to principal component regression (PCR), locally weighted partial least squares regression (LW-PLSR), partial least square regression (PLSR), and least square support vector regression model (LSSVR), some of the other types of regression models used to verify and compare the results were fuzzy modelling and least square support vector regression model (LSSVR). According to the results of our research, the LW-KPLSR model performed far better than other competing models when attempting to forecast the membrane's diameter. This is made clear by the much lower RMSE and MAE values of the LW-KPLSR model. In addition, it offered the highest R2 values that could be achieved, reaching 0.9989.

Bifunctional electrospun poly (L-lactic acid) membranes incorporating black phosphorus nanosheets and nano-zinc oxide for enhanced biocompatibility and antibacterial properties in catheter materials. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 142:105884. [PMID: 37148777 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105884] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
For several decades, urinary tract infections caused by catheter-associated devices have negatively impacted not only medical device utilization, but also patient health. As such, the creation of catheter materials with both superior biocompatibility and antibacterial properties has become necessary. This study aimed to produce electrospun membranes based on polylactic acid (PLA) with the incorporation of black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNS) and nano-zinc oxide (nZnO) particles, as well as a mixture of both, in order to design bifunctional membranes with enhanced bioactivity and antibacterial features. The optimum spinning process was determined through examination of various PLA mass concentrations, spinning solution propelling speeds, and receiving drum rotating speeds, with emphasis on the mechanical properties of PLA membranes. Additionally, the antibacterial properties and cytocompatibility of the ZnO-BP/PLA antibacterial membranes were explored. Results demonstrated that the ZnO-BP/PLA antibacterial membranes displayed a rich porous structure, with uniform distribution of nZnO particles and BPNS. With the increase of polylactic acid concentration and the decrease of spinning solution advancing and drum rotation speeds, the mechanical properties of the fiber membrane were significantly improved. Furthermore, the composite membranes exhibited remarkable photothermal therapy (PTT) capabilities when aided by the synergistic effect of BP nanosheets and ZnO. This was achieved through near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, which not only dissipated the biofilm but also enhanced the release capability of Zn2+. Consequently, the composite membrane demonstrated an improved inhibitory effect on both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The results of cytotoxicity and adhesion experiments also indicated good cytocompatibility, with cells growing normally on the surface of the ZnO-BP/PLA antibacterial membrane. Overall, these findings validate the utilization of both BPNS and n-ZnO fillers in the creation of novel bifunctional PLA-based membranes, which possess both biocompatibility and antibacterial properties for interventional catheter materials.

Abstract
After implantation of a biomaterial, both the host immune system and properties of the material determine the local immune response. Through triggering or modulating the local immune response, materials can be designed towards a desired direction of promoting tissue repair or regeneration. High-throughput sequencing technologies such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) emerging as a powerful tool for dissecting the immune micro-environment around biomaterials, have not been fully utilized in the field of soft tissue regeneration. In this review, we first discussed the procedures of foreign body reaction in brief. Then, we summarized the influences that physical and chemical modulation of biomaterials have on cell behaviors in the micro-environment. Finally, we discussed the application of scRNA-seq in probing the scaffold immune micro-environment and provided some reference to designing immunomodulatory biomaterials. The foreign body response consists of a series of biological reactions. Immunomodulatory materials regulate immune cell activation and polarization, mediate divergent local immune micro-environments and possess different tissue engineering functions. The manipulation of physical and chemical properties of scaffolds can modulate local immune responses, resulting in different outcomes of fibrosis or tissue regeneration. With the advancement of technology, emerging techniques such as scRNA-seq provide an unprecedented understanding of immune cell heterogeneity and plasticity in a scaffold-induced immune micro-environment at high resolution. The in-depth understanding of the interaction between scaffolds and the host immune system helps to provide clues for the design of biomaterials to optimize regeneration and promote a pro-regenerative local immune micro-environment.

Abstract
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.

Fabrication and characterization of polycaprolactone/cellulose acetate blended nanofiber mats containing sericin and fibroin for biomedical application. Sci Rep 2022; 12:22370.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone/cellulose acetate blended nanofiber mats containing sericin and fibroin were fabricated by electrospinning process to study the effect of sericin and fibroin on the physical and structural properties, wettability, degradability, elastic modulus, cell adhesion, and cell cytotoxicity of the electrospun nanofibers. Polycaprolactone/cellulose acetate solution was prepared with different percentage ratio of sericin and fibroin to be the running solution. Nanofibers were spun at fixed solution flow rate, flying distance, and operating voltage. The diameter of the obtained nanofibers linearly increases with the increasing of the sericin ratio. The derivative structures of polycaprolactone, cellulose acetate, sericin, and fibroin of the obtained nanofibers were confirmed by FTIR analysis. All acquired nanofibers show superhydrophilicity with adequate time of degradation for L-929 cell adhesion and growth. More elasticity is gained when the sericin ratio decreases. Moreover, all fibers containing sericin/fibroin reveal more elasticity, cell adhesion, and cell growth than that with only polycaprolactone/cellulose acetate. Greater cell adhesion and growth develop when the sericin ratio is lower. All the fabricated nanofibers are low toxic to the cells. Fibers with a mixture of sericin and fibroin at 2.5:2.5 (% w/v) are the most promising and suitable for further clinical development due to their good results in each examination. The novelty found in this study is not only making more value of the sericin, silk industrial waste, and the fibroin, but also getting the preferable biomaterials, scaffold prototype, with much greater mechanical property and slower degradation, which are required and appropriate for cell attachment and proliferation of cell generation process, compared to that obtaining from polycaprolactone/cellulose acetate or sericin/fibroin nanofibers.

Abstract
Electrospinning is an advanced technology for the preparation of drug-carrying nanofibers that has demonstrated great advantages in the biomedical field. Electrospun nanofiber membranes are widely used in the field of drug administration due to their advantages such as their large specific surface area and similarity to the extracellular matrix. Different electrospinning technologies can be used to prepare nanofibers of different structures, such as those with a monolithic structure, a core-shell structure, a Janus structure, or a porous structure. It is also possible to prepare nanofibers with different controlled-release functions, such as sustained release, delayed release, biphasic release, and targeted release. This paper elaborates on the preparation of drug-loaded nanofibers using various electrospinning technologies and concludes the mechanisms behind the controlled release of drugs.

Abstract
In recent times, the use of personal protective equipment, such as face masks or respirators, is becoming more and more critically important because of common pollution; furthermore, face masks have become a necessary element in the global fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, the main mission of scientists has become the development of face masks with exceptional properties that will enhance their performance. The versatility of electrospun polymer nanofibers has determined their suitability as a material for constructing "smart" filter media. This paper provides an overview of the research carried out on nanofibrous filters obtained by electrospinning. The progressive development of the next generation of face masks whose unique properties can be activated in response to a specific external stimulus is highlighted. Thanks to additional components incorporated into the fiber structure, filters can, for example, acquire antibacterial or antiviral properties, self-sterilize the structure, and store the energy generated by users. Despite the discovery of several fascinating possibilities, some of them remain unexplored. Stimuli-responsive filters have the potential to become products of large-scale availability and great importance to society as a whole.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofiber materials have been considered as advanced dressing candidates in the perspective of wound healing and skin regeneration, originated from their high porosity and permeability to air and moisture, effective barrier performance of external pathogens, and fantastic extracellular matrix (ECM) fibril mimicking property. Gelatin is one of the most important natural biomaterials for the design and construction of electrospun nanofiber-based dressings, due to its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and great exudate-absorbing capacity. Various crosslinking approaches including physical, chemical, and biological methods have been introduced to improve the mechanical stability of electrospun gelatin-based nanofiber mats. Some innovative electrospinning strategies, including blend electrospinning, emulsion electrospinning, and coaxial electrospinning, have been explored to improve the mechanical, physicochemical, and biological properties of gelatin-based nanofiber mats. Moreover, numerous bioactive components and therapeutic agents have been utilized to impart the electrospun gelatin-based nanofiber dressing materials with multiple functions, such as antimicrobial, anti-inflammation, antioxidation, hemostatic, and vascularization, as well as other healing-promoting capacities. Noticeably, electrospun gelatin-based nanofiber mats integrated with specific functions have been fabricated to treat some hard-healing wound types containing burn and diabetic wounds. This work provides a detailed review of electrospun gelatin-based nanofiber dressing materials without or with therapeutic agents for wound healing and skin regeneration applications.
