Abstract
Obtaining a sustainable drug delivery system is a challenging issue in biomedical science. This became even more important in the wound regeneration process due to its long treatment process. In this study, the calcium alginate (CaAlg) hydrogel is coated on the surface of polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin (Gel) nanofibers containing coconut oil (CO) using the impregnation method. The physical, chemical, and morphological properties of produced samples are investigated using different characterization techniques to verify the influence of hydrogel. Water contact angle, swelling ratio, and water vapor permeability measurements are used to evaluate the effect of hydrogel on the hydrophilicity of the proposed system. The cell viability test showed that the nanocomposite hydrogel is biocompatible and could improve wound healing. According to drug release studies, hydrogel addition to the nanofiber system plays an essential role in controlling CO release rate in the first 250 h. In vivo studies also indicated faster skin regeneration.

Abstract
In the last decades, much research has been done to fasten wound healing and target-direct drug delivery. Hydrogel-based scaffolds have been a recurrent solution in both cases, with some reaching already the market, even though their mechanical stability remains a challenge. To overcome this limitation, reinforcement of hydrogels with fibers has been explored. The structural resemblance of fiber-hydrogel composites to natural tissues has been a driving force for the optimization and exploration of these systems in biomedicine. Indeed, the combination of hydrogel-forming techniques and fiber spinning approaches has been crucial in the development of scaffolding systems with improved mechanical strength and medicinal properties. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the recently developed fiber-hydrogel composite strategies for wound healing and drug delivery is provided. The methodologies employed in fiber and hydrogel formation are also highlighted, together with the most compatible polymer combinations, as well as drug incorporation approaches creating stimuli-sensitive and triggered drug release towards an enhanced host response.

Abstract
Recent trends in scaffold design for tissue engineering have focused on providing structural, mechanical and chemical cues for guiding cell behaviors. In this study, we presented a structural/compositional gradient nano-/microfibrous mesh by co-electrospinning, using silk fibroin-poly(ε-caprolactone) (SF-PCL) nanofibers and PCL microfibers. The pore size, porosity, and physical property of the gradient meshes were qualified. Cell proliferation of mouse osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells was carried out to estimate the effect of structural and compositional gradients on biocompatibility. Furthermore, the 2-D mesh was rolled up and the compressive property of 3-D cylinder was investigated. The results suggested that the rolled-up gradient cylinder scaffold exhibited higher osteogenic differentiation compared to the pristine nanofibrous cylinder sample. By incorporating Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rg1, sustained release was achieved in composite meshes. Rg1-containing nanofibrous meshes and Rg1 gradient cylinders enhanced the cell proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The developed fibrous scaffold may provide structural, compositional, and chemical gradients for bone regeneration. BRIEFS: Structural and chemical gradient fibrous scaffold fabricated by co-electrospinning.

Abstract
Breast reconstruction is the opportunity that provides the chance of having breast after undergoing surgical removal of the breast tissue due to cancer-related surgery. However, this varies on the stage of the cancer diagnosis and the procedure undertaken. There are many regenerative medicine methods that provide several initiatives and direct solutions to problems such as the development of "bioactive tissue," which can regenerate adipose tissues with similar normal functions and structures. There have been several studies which have previously explored for the improvement of breast reconstruction including different variations of biomaterials, different fabrication and processing techniques, cells as well as growth factors which enable bioengineers and tissue engineers to reconstruct a suitable breast for patients with breast cancer. Many factors such as shape, proper volume, mechanical properties have been studies but very scattered with not adequate solution for existing patients worldwide. This review article aims to cover recent advances in the biomaterials, which can be used for reconstruction of breasts as well as looking at the various factors that might lead to individuals needing reconstruction and the materials that are available. The focus would be to look at the various biomaterials that are available to use for reconstruction, their properties, and their structural integrity.

Abstract
Developing multifunctional soft biomaterials capable of addressing all the requirements of the complex tissue regeneration process is a multifaceted problem. In order to tackle the current challenges, recent research efforts are increasingly being directed towards biomimetic design concepts that can be translated into soft biomaterials via advanced manufacturing technologies. Among those, soft network composites consisting of a continuous hydrogel matrix and a reinforcing fibrous network closely resemble native soft biological materials in terms of design and composition as well as physicochemical properties. This article reviews soft network composite systems with a particular emphasis on the design, biomaterial and fabrication aspects within the context of soft tissue engineering and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Osteochondral tissue regeneration is a complicated field due to the distinct properties and healing potential of osseous and chondral phases. In a natural osteochondral region, the composition, mechanics, and structure vary smoothly from bony to cartilaginous phase. Therefore, a homogeneous scaffold cannot satisfy the complexity of the osteochondral matrix. In essence, a natural extracellular matrix is composed of fibrous proteins elongated into a gelatinous background. A hydrogel/fiber scaffold possessing gradient in both phases would be of the utmost interest to imitate tissue arrangement of a native osteochondral interface. However, there are limited research works that exploit hydrogel/fiber scaffolds for osteochondral restoration. In the present review, currently used fibrous or gelatinous scaffolds for osteochondral damages are discussed. Moreover, superiority of using gradient hydrogel/fiber composites for osteochondral regeneration and practical approaches to develop those scaffolds is debated.

Abstract
Collagen and elastin are the two most abundant proteins in the human body, and as biomaterials offer fascinating properties to composite materials. More detailed investigations including these biomaterials within reinforced composites are still needed. This report describes physicochemical properties of fibers composed of collagen type I, collagen III, elastin and polycaprolactone (PCL). Prior to the electrospinning process, PCL was functionalized through covalent attachment of -NH2 groups by aminolysis reaction with hexamentilendiamine. The fibers were fabricated by electrospinning technique set up with a non-conventional collector. A morphological comparative study was developed at different rations of collagen type I, observing in some cases two populations of fibers. The diameters and morphology were analyzed by SEM, observing a wide array of nanostructures with diameters of ~310 to 693nm. Chemical characterization was assessed by FT-IR spectroscopy and the functionalized PCL was characterized through ninhydrin assay resulting in 0.36mM NH2/mg fiber. Swelling tests were performed for 24h, obtaining 320% for the majority of the fibers indicating morphological stability and good water uptake. In addition, contact angle analysis demonstrated adequate permeability and differences for each system depending mainly upon the type of biopolymer incorporated and the functionalization of PCL, ranging the values from 108° to 17°. Moreover, differential scanning calorimetry results showed a melting temperature (Tm) of ~60°C. The onset degradation temperatures (Td,onset) ranged between 115 and 148°C, and were obtained by thermogravimetric analysis. The local mechanical properties of individual fibers were quantified by atomic force acoustic microscopy. These results propose that the physicochemical and mechanical properties of these scaffolds offer the possibility for enhanced biological activity Thus, they have a great potential as candidate scaffolds in tissue engineering applications.
