Abstract
Among the many different types of wound dressings, nanofiber-based materials produced through electrospinning are claimed to be ideal because of their advantageous intrinsic properties and the feasibility of employing several strategies to load bioactive compounds into their structure. Bioactive compounds with antimicrobial properties have been incorporated into different wound dressings to promote healing as well as prevent and treat bacterial infections. Among these, natural products, such as medicinal plant extracts and essential oils (EOs), have proven particularly attractive thanks to their nontoxic nature, minor side effects, desirable bioactive properties, and favorable effects on the healing process. To this end, the present review provides an exhaustive and up-to-date revision of the most prominent medicinal plant extracts and EOs with antimicrobial properties that have been incorporated into nanofiber-based wound dressings. The most common methods used for incorporating bioactive compounds into electrospun nanofibers include: pre-electrospinning (blend, encapsulation, coaxial, and emulsion electrospinning), post-electrospinning (physical adsorption, chemical immobilization, and layer-by-layer assembly), and nanoparticle loading. Furthermore, a general overview of the benefits of EOs and medicinal plant extracts is presented, describing their intrinsic properties and biotechniques for their incorporation into wound dressings. Finally, the current challenges and safety issues that need to be adequately clarified and addressed are discussed.

Abstract
Food freshness monitoring is an important component in ensuring food safety for consumers and the food industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable, low-cost, and efficient detection method to determine the freshness. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as polymer carrier to prepare electrospinning film containing curcumin (Cur) and gardenia blue (GB) as intelligent indicator label on food packaging for real-time nondestructive detection of freshness of shrimp. The detection limit of ammonia response is less than or equal to 20 ppm, and the detection time is about 1 min, indicating that it has a sensitive response effect. At the same time, a smartphone application that can identify amines in response to color changes has been developed, and consumers can understand freshness by scanning the label. This study demonstrates the huge potential of smart indicator labels for food freshness monitoring.

Abstract
The use of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NPs) in diabetic wound repair substances has shown promising results. Therefore, the study was conducted to introduce a novel nano-based wound dressing containing chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated with green synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles using Thymus vulgaris extract (CeO2-CSNPs). The physical properties and structure of the nanoparticles were analyzed using XRD, DLS, FESEM and FTIR techniques. The electrospun PCL/cellulose acetate-based nanofiber was prepared and CeO2-CSNPs were integrated on the PCL/CA membrane by electrospraying. The physicochemical properties, morphology and biological characteristics of the electrospun nanocomposite were evaluated. The results showed that the nanocomposite with 0.1 % CeO2-CSNPs exhibited high antibacterial performance against S. aureus (<58.59 µg/mL). The PCL/CA/CeO2-CSNPs nanofiber showed significant antioxidant activity up to 89.59 %, cell viability improvement, and cell migration promotion up to 90.3 % after 48 h. The in vivo diabetic wound healing experiment revealed that PCL/CA/CeO2-CSNPs nanofibers can significantly increase the repair rate of diabetic wounds by up to 95.47 % after 15 days. The results of this research suggest that PCL/CA nanofiber mats functionalized with CeO2-CSNPs have the potential to be highly effective in treating diabetes-related wounds.

Abstract
A novel analytical method based on nanofiber-packed solid-phase extraction (PFSPE) combined with HPLC-FLD has been successfully developed and applied to determine aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2 in foods. In order to effectively adsorb analytes from complex food matrices, four types of nanofibers based on skeleton of polystyrene-polyvinyl pyrrolidone were prepared by electrospinning and applied as adsorbent to home-made solid-phase extraction device. The effects of type of nanofibers, pH of sample, type and concentration of salt ion, type of activation solvent, type and volume of eluent, amount of nanofibers, and extraction time on the adsorption/desorption were investigated and optimized. Under optimal conditions, the method showed satisfactory linear relationship, with limits of detection (LODs) of 0.07-0.17 ng g-1, intra-day and inter-day RSDs for spiked samples of 1.3-8.0 % and 1.9-5.8 %, and absolute recoveries in the range of 60.1-98.4 %. The results presented the great potential to be utilized to determine AFs in foodstuffs.

Abstract
The present study serves experimental and theoretical analyses in developing a hybrid advanced structure as a photolysis, which is based on electrospun Graphene Oxide-titanium dioxide (GO-TiO2) nanofibers as an electron transfer material (ETMs) functionalized for perovskite solar cell (PVSCs) with GO. The prepared ETMs were utilized for the synthesis of mixed-cation (FAPbI3)0.8(MAPbBr3)0.2. The effect of GO on TiO2 and their chemical structure, electronic and morphological characteristic were investigated and discussed. The elaborated device, namely ITO/Bl-TiO2/3 wt% GO-TiO2/(FAPbI3)0.8(MAPbBr3)0.2/spiro-MeTAD/Pt, displayed 20.14% disposition and conversion solar energy with fill factor (FF) of 1.176%, short circuit current density (Jsc) of 20.56 mA/cm2 and open circuit voltage (VOC) 0.912 V. The obtained efficiency is higher than titanium oxide (18.42%) and other prepared GO-TiO2 composite nanofibers based ETMs. The developed materials and device would facilitate elaboration of advanced functional materials and devices for energy storage applications.

Abstract
Utilizing electrospun nanofibers and microneedle arrays in wound regeneration has been practiced for several years. Researchers have recently asserted that using multiple methods concurrently might enhance efficiency, despite the inherent strengths and weaknesses of each individual approach. The combination of microneedle arrays with electrospun nanofibers has the potential to create a drug delivery system and wound healing method that offer improved efficiency and accuracy in targeting. The use of microneedles with nanofibers allows for precise administration of pharmaceuticals due to the microneedles' capacity to pierce the skin and the nanofibers' role as a drug reservoir, resulting in a progressive release of drugs over a certain period of time. Electrospun nanofibers have the ability to imitate the extracellular matrix and provide a framework for cellular growth and tissue rejuvenation, while microneedle arrays show potential for enhancing tissue regeneration and enhancing the efficacy of wound healing. The integration of electrospun nanofibers with microneedle arrays may be customized to effectively tackle particular obstacles in the fields of wound healing and drug delivery. However, some issues must be addressed before this paradigm may be fully integrated into clinical settings, including but not limited to ensuring the safety and sterilization of these products for transdermal use, optimizing manufacturing methods and characterization of developed products, larger-scale production, optimizing storage conditions, and evaluating the inclusion of multiple therapeutic and antimicrobial agents to increase the synergistic effects in the wound healing process. This research examines the combination of microneedle arrays with electrospun nanofibers to enhance the delivery of drugs and promote wound healing. It explores various kinds of microneedle arrays, the materials and processes used, and current developments in their integration with electrospun nanofibers.

Abstract
Chronic wounds have become a serious global health issue. In this study, we investigated the effect of increasing fucoidan (FD) concentration on the characteristics of nanofibers and their wound healing potential at in vitro as well as in vivo level. The results showed that increasing FD content (0.25 to 1 %) led to an significant increase in nanofiber diameter (487.7 ± 125.39 to 627.9 ± 149.78 nm), entrapment efficiency (64.26 ± 2.6 to 94.9 ± 3.1 %), and water uptake abilities (436.5 ± 1.2 to 679.7 ± 11.3 %). However, the in vitro biodegradation profile decreased with an increase in FD concentration. Water vapor transmission rate analysis showed that it was within the standard range for all FD concentrations. Nanofibers with 1 % PVA/DX/FD exhibited slow-release behavior, suggesting prolonged FD availability at the wound site. In vivo studies in rats with full-thickness wounds demonstrated that applying 1 % FD-enriched PVA/DEX nanofibers significantly (p < 0.0001) improved mean wound area closure. These findings suggest that FD-enriched nanofibers have immense potential as a wound dressing material in future if explored further.

Abstract
Overcoming the vaginal barrier to achieve sufficient drug penetration and retention is a huge obstacle for drug delivery in chemotherapeutics for cervical cancer. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of a novel composite nanocrystal/nanofiber system for improving the transmucus penetration and, thus, enhancing retention and drug delivery to the lesion of a cervicovaginal tumor. Herein, paclitaxel (PTX) was sequentially formulated in the form of nanocrystals, coated with polydopamine (PDA), and modified with PEG. The nanocrystals (NCs@PDA-PEG) were creatively fabricated to create a composite nanofibrous membrane (NCs@PDA-PEG NFs) by using an electrospinning technique. The morphology, size distribution, drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, in vitro release, in vivo vaginal retention, apoptosis index, anti-tumor efficacy in a murine cervicovaginal tumor model, and local irritation were characterized. The NCs@PDA-PEG were formulated in a cube-like shape with an average size of 385.6 ± 35.47 nm; they were dispersed in electrospun nanofibers, and the drug loading was 7.94 %. The XRD curves indicated that the phase state of PTX changed after the creation of the nanocrystals. The FTIR spectra showed that the drug and the excipients were compatible with each other. In vitro delivery showed that the dissolution of PTX in the electrospun nanofibers was significantly faster than that when using bulk PTX. Compared with the PTX NC NFs, the NC@PDA-PEG NFs exhibited prolonged vaginal residence, superior transmucus penetration, minimal mucosal irritation, and significant tumor inhibition efficacy after the intravaginal administration of the NFs in tumor-bearing mice. In conclusion, by acting as novel pharmaceutical repositories, NCs@PDA-PEG NFs can be promising candidates for non-invasive local treatment, leading to efficient tumor inhibition in cervicovaginal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although NSAIDs possess notable therapeutic and pharmaceutical qualities, it's essential to acknowledge that excessive doses can result in toxicity within the human body. Moreover, the importance lies in identifying and measuring their trace amounts. Due to their existence within intricate matrices, the creation of novel electrospun nanofibers as sorbents for electrically-assisted solidphase microextraction (EA-SPME) becomes vital. This innovation caters to the requirement for the effective pre-treatment of NSAID samples, providing a strategic approach to managing the complexities associated with trace quantities found in various matrices. RESULTS First, polyvinylalcohol/casein/tannic acid/polyaniline/titanium dioxide nanoparticles (PVA/CAS/TA/PANI/TiO2 NPs) electrospun nanofibers were prepared for EA-SPME on pewter rode and then, trace amounts of six NSAIDs (Acetaminophen, Caffeine, Naproxen, Celecoxib, Ibuprofen and mefenamic acid) were adsorbed chemically on these nanofibers. In the next step, the desorption of six NSAIDs was electrochemically done from prepared electrospun nanofibers on a pewter rod which was as working electrode at three electrodes system. Finally, these drugs were quantified from different human plasma samples with HPLC-UV. The synthesis of electrospun nanofibers was confirmed through a series of analytical techniques including field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with elemental mapping analysis (EDX-Mapping), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR). The optimal percentage of additive compounds to PVA/CAS for electrospinning, as well as the factors influencing adsorption and desorption processes, were determined through both of Design Expert software and MATLAB programming language. SIGNIFICANCE Under optimum conditions, the wide linear range was 27-8000 ng mL-1 with R2≥ 0.9897, low detection limits were ranged from 8 to 27.3 ng mL-1 based on S/N = 3 and significant enrichment factors were acquired. The intra-day and inter-day RSDs% were obtained within the 4.51% - 5.68% and 4.28%-5.45%, respectively. Finally, The effectiveness of the EA-SPME-HPLC-UV method was assessed for determining NSAIDs in plasma samples, demonstrating good recoveries ranging from 90.2% to 105.2%.

Abstract
A system based on poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) was considered in this study to achieve electrospun mats with outstanding properties and applicability in biomedical engineering. A novel binary solvent system of chloroform/N,N-dimethylformamide (CF/DMF:70/30) was utilized to minimize the probable phase separation between the polymeric components. Moreover, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to model/optimize the process. Finally, to scrutinize the ability of the complex in terms of drug delivery, Calendula Officinalis (Marigold) extract was added to the solution of the optimal sample (Opt.PH), and then the set was electrospun (PHM). As a result, the presence of Marigold led to higher values of fiber diameter (262 ± 34 nm), pore size (483 ± 102 nm), and surface porosity (81.0 ± 7.3 %). As this drug could also prohibit the micro-scale phase separation, the PHM touched superior tensile strength and Young modulus of 11.3 ± 1.1 and 91.2 ± 4.2 MPa, respectively. Additionally, the cumulative release data demonstrated non-Fickian diffusion with the Korsmeyer-Peppas exponent and diffusion coefficient of n = 0.69 and D = 2.073 × 10-14 cm2/s, respectively. At the end stage, both the Opt.PH and PHM mats manifested satisfactory results regarding the hydrophilicity and cell viability/proliferation assessments, reflecting their high potential to be used in regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Electrospun films (ESF) are gaining attention for active delivery due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. This study investigated the impact of adding soy protein amyloid fibrils (SAFs) to ESF. Functional ESF based on SAFs/pullulan were successfully fabricated, with SAFs clearly observed entangled in the electrospun fibers using fluorescence microscopy. The addition of SAFs improved the mechanical strength of the ESF threefold and increased its surface hydrophobicity from 24.8° to 49.9°. Moreover, the ESF demonstrated antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In simulated oral disintegration tests, almost 100% of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) dissolved within 4 min from the ESF. In summary, the incorporation of SAFs into ESF improved their mechanical strength, hydrophobicity, and enabled them to exhibit antibacterial properties, making them promising candidates for active delivery applications in food systems. Additionally, the ESF showed efficient release of EGCG, indicating their potential for controlled release of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Nanofiber meshes from electrospun chitosan, highly modified with biotin and arylazides, are well-suited for application as enzyme immobilization matrices. To test this, catalytically active biomolecules were immobilized onto photocrosslinked nanofibrous nonwovens consisting mainly of biotinylated fungal chitosan and a small amount (10 w%) of poly ethylene oxide. In this study, we show that over 10 μg eugenol oxidase per milligram dry polymer matrix can be loaded on UV-crosslinked chitosan nanofibers. We further demonstrate that bound enzyme activity can be fully retained for over 7 days of storage at ambient conditions in aqueous buffer. Samples loaded at maximum enzyme carrying capacity were tested in a custom-made plug-flow reactor system with online UV-VIS spectroscopy for activity determination. High wettability and durability of the hydrophilic chitosan support matrix enabled continuous oxidation of model substrate vanillyl alcohol into vanillin with constant turnover at flow rates of up to 0.24 L/h for over 6 h. This proves the above hypothesis and enables further application of the fibers as stacked microfluidic membranes, biosensors, or structural starting points for affinity crosslinked enzyme gels. KEY POINTS: • Biotinylated chitosan-based nanofibers retain enzymes via mild affinity interactions • Immobilized eugenol oxidase shows high activity and resists continuous washing • Nanofiber matrix material tolerated high flow rates in a continuous-flow setup.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for ultrasensitive determination of the hormone insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) based on immobilization of a specific monoclonal antibody on the electrospun nanofibers of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/Zein-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoparticle. The nanofibers deposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) showed good electrochemical behaviors with synergistic effects between PAN, Zein, and rGO. PAN/Zein nanofibers were used due to flexibility, high porosity, good mechanical strength, high specific surface area, and flexible structures, while rGO nanoparticles were used to improve the detection sensitivity and anti-IGF-1 immobilizing. Different characterization techniques were applied consisting of FE-SEM, FT-IR, and EDS for the investigation of morphological features and nanofiber size. The redox reactions of [Fe(CN)6]4-/3- on the modified electrode surface were probed for studying the immobilization and determination processes, using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under optimal conditions, LOD (limit of detection) and LOQ (limit of quantification) were obtained as 55.72 fg/mL and 185.73 fg/mL respectively, and sensitivity was acquired 136.29 μA/cm2.dec. Moreover, a wide linear range was obtained ranging from 1 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL for IGF-1. Furthermore, the proposed method was applied for the analysis of IGF-1 in several human plasma samples with acceptable results, and it also exhibited high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Highly efficient floating photocatalysis has potential applications in organic pollutant treatment but remains limited by low degradation efficiency in practical applications. By introducing the photothermal effect into a peroxymonosulfate (PMS) coupled photocatalysis system, tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation could be significantly enhanced using floating metal phthalocyanine@polyacrylonitrile (MPc@PAN) nanofiber mats. MPc@PAN nanofibers with different metal centers showed similar photothermal conversion performance but different activation energies for PMS activation, resulting in metal-center-dependent synergistic photothermal effects, i.e., light-enhanced dominated, thermal-enhanced dominated, and conjointly light-thermal dominated mechanisms. The porous structures and floating ability of the FePc@PAN nanofibers provided a fast mass transfer process, with higher solar energy utilization and superior photothermal conversion performance than the FePc nanopowders. Meanwhile, the FePc@PAN nanofibers showed excellent TCH removal stability within 10 cycles (>92%) and extremely low Fe ion leaching (<0.055 mg/L) in a dual-channel flowing wastewater treatment system. This work provides new insight into PMS activation via photothermal effects for environmental remediation.

Abstract
An electrochemical immunosensing platform was developed for the detection of receptor tyrosine kinase-orphan receptor-2 (ROR2) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with the electrospun nanofiber containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), soy, and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). The PVP/soy/AuNP nanofiber exhibited good electrochemical behavior due to synergistic effects between PVP, soy, and AuNPs. The PVP/soy in the modified film provided good mechanical strength, high porosity, flexible structures, and high specific surface area. On the other hand, the presence of AuNPs effectively improved conductivity, as well as the immobilization of anti-ROR2 on the modified GCE, leading to enhanced sensitivity. Various characterization approaches such as FE-SEM, FTIR, and EDS were used for investigating the morphological and structural features, and the elemental composition. The designed immunosensor performance was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under optimum conditions with a working potential range from -0.2 to 0.6 V (vs. SCE), sensitivity, linear range (LR), limit of detection (LOD), and correlation coefficient (R2) were acquired at 122.26 μA/cm2 dec, 0.01-1000 pg/mL, 3.39 fg/mL, and 0.9974, respectively. Furthermore, the determination of ROR2 in human plasma samples using the designed immunosensing platform was examined and exhibited satisfactory results including good selectivity against other proteins, reproducibility, and cyclic stability.

Abstract
Cell sheet engineering has been proven to be a promising strategy for cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction. However, insufficient mechanical strength and low cell retention lead to limited therapeutic efficiency. The thickness and area of artificial cardiac patches also affect their therapeutic efficiency. Cardiac patches prepared by combining cell sheets with electrospun nanofibers, which can be transplanted and sutured to the surface of the infarcted heart, promise to solve this problem. Here, we fabricated a novel cardiac patch by stacking brown adipose-derived stem cells (BADSCs) sheet layer by layer, and then they were combined with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-containing electrospun polycaprolactone/silk fibroin nanofibers (CPSN). The results demonstrated that BADSCs tended to generate myocardium-like structures seeded on CPSN. Compared with BADSCs suspension-containing electrospun nanofibers, the transplantation of the CPSN-BADSCs sheets (CNBS) cardiac patches exhibited accelerated angiogenesis and decreased inflammation in a rat myocardial infarction model. In addition, the CNBS cardiac patches could regulate macrophage polarization and promote gap junction remodeling, thus restoring cardiac functions. Overall, the hybrid cardiac patches made of electrospun nanofibers and cell sheets provide a novel solution to cardiac remodeling after ischemic myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based wound dressings have been extensively studied for the treatment of both minor and life-threatening tissue injuries. These wound dressings must possess several crucial characteristics, such as tissue compatibility, non-toxicity, appropriate biodegradability to facilitate wound healing, effective antibacterial activity to prevent infection, and adequate physical and mechanical strength to withstand repetitive dynamic forces that could potentially disrupt the healing process. Nevertheless, the development of nanostructured wound dressings that incorporate various functional micro- and nanomaterials in distinct architectures, each serving specific purposes, presents significant challenges. In this study, we successfully developed a novel multifunctional wound dressing based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibrous membranes produced by solution-blow spinning (SBS) and electrospinning. The PLA-based membranes underwent surface modifications aimed at tailoring their properties for utilization as effective wound dressing platforms. Initially, beta-chitin whiskers were deposited onto the membrane surface through filtration, imparting hydrophilic character. Afterward, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were incorporated onto the beta-chitin layer using a spray deposition method, resulting in platforms with antimicrobial properties against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Cytotoxicity studies demonstrated the biocompatibility of the membranes with the neonatal human dermal fibroblast (HDFn) cell line. Moreover, bilayer membranes exhibited a high surface area and porosity (> 80%), remarkable stability in aqueous media, and favorable mechanical properties, making them promising candidates for application as multifunctional wound dressings.

Abstract
Here, we report poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (PNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers as temperature-, pH- and electro-responsive materials. First, the PNIPAm-co-AAc microgels were prepared by precipitation polymerization and then electrospun with PCL. The morphology of the prepared materials, analysed by scanning electron microscopy, showed a narrow nanofiber distribution in the range of 500-800 nm, depending on microgel content. Refractometry measurements, performed at pH4 and 6.5, as well as in distilled water, indicated the thermo- and pH-responsive behaviour of the nanofibers between 31 and 34 °C. After being thoroughly characterized, the prepared nanofibers were loaded with crystal violet (CV) or gentamicin as model drugs. The application of a pulsed voltage led to a pronounced increase in drug release kinetics, which was also dependent on microgel content. In addition, long-term temperature- and pH-responsive release was demonstrated. Next, the prepared materials displayed switchable antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. Finally, cell compatibility tests showed that NIH 3T3 fibroblasts spread evenly over the nanofiber surface, confirming that the nanofibers serve as a favourable support for cell growth. Overall, the prepared nanofibers offer switchable drug release and appear to have considerable biomedical potential, particularly in wound healing.

Abstract
Flexible surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanosensors, constructed by integration of plasmonic nanostructures with polymeric substrates, have received increasing research interests for recent decades. When compared to abundant works on optimization of the plasmonic nanostructures, the research involving the influence of polymeric substrates on analytical performance of resultant flexible SESR nanosensors is unexpectedly limited. Herein, the ultra-thin silver layer has been deposited on the electrospun polyurethane (ePU) nanofibrous membranes via vacuum evaporation to prepare the flexible SRES nanosensors. Interestingly, we find that the molecular weight and polydispersion index of synthesized PU play important roles in regulating the fine morphology of electrospun nanofibers, which in turns determine the Raman enhancement of resultant flexible SERS nanosensors. Specifically, the optimized SERS nanosensor, obtained by evaporating 10 nm silver layer on top of nanofibers derived from electrospinning of PU with a weight-average molecular weight of 140,354 and polydispersion index of 1.26, enables label-free detection of the carcinogen of aflatoxin down to 0.1 nM. Thanks to its scalable fabrication and good sensitivity, the current work opens new way for design of cost-effective flexible SERS nanosensors for environmental monitoring and food security applications.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic makes protective respirators highly demanded. The respirator materials should filter out viral fine aerosols effectively, allow airflow to pass through easily, and wick away the exhalant moisture timely. However, the commonly used melt-blown nonwovens perform poorly in meeting these requirements simultaneously. Herein, dual-bionic nano-groove structured (NGS) nanofibers are fabricated to serve as protective, breathable and moisture-wicking respirator materials. The creativity of this design is that the tailoring of dual-bionic nano-groove structure, combined with the strong polarity and hydrophilicity of electrospinning polymer, not only endows the nanofibrous materials with improved particle capture ability but also enable them to wick away and transmit breathing moisture. Benefitting from the synthetic effect of hierarchical structure and the intrinsic property of polymers, the resulting NGS nanofibrous membranes show a high filtration efficiency of 99.96%, a low pressure drop of 110 Pa, and a high moisture transmission rate of 5.67 kg m-2 d-1 at the same time. More importantly, the sharp increase of breathing resistance caused by the condensation of exhaled moisture is avoided, overcoming the bottleneck faced by traditional nonwovens and paving a new way for developing protective respirators with high wear comfortability.

Abstract
Dextran (Dex) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based aqueous emulsions were stabilized using the self-assembled chitosan colloidal particles (CS CPs). Besides, the effects of pH, CS CPs concentration, polymer concentration, volume ratio of PEG solution to Dex solution, temperature, homogenizing speed and homogenizing time on the property of the W/W emulsions were investigated, respectively. In order to enhance the stability of the PEG-Dex emulsion, sodium tripolyphosphate was used to cross-link the CS CPs at the interface of emulsion droplets, which resulted in the stability duration for >1 year. Finally, the CS CPs were used as a support to immobilize urease and bovine serum albumin and a stabilizer to prepare W/W emulsion, which were then adopted as a catalysis system and as a spinning solution to fabricate drug-loaded nanofiber. This strategy potentially provides a new opportunity to encapsulate the active molecules at the water-water interface, and enrich the types of usable active molecules in the encapsulation in the W/W emulsions.

Abstract
Textile industry is a significant contributor of wastewater, which contains pollutants including dye and other chemical substances. The release of thousands of tons of dye used in textile processing and finishing into natural streams and aquatic bodies present dire harm to the environment. In response to environmental concerns, a number of research have been done using low-cost technology to produce absorbents that can remove dyes from water bodies. Distinct techniques such as adsorption, enzymatic and photocatalytic degradation, etc. have been employed to remove dyes. In the last few decades, photocatalysis, a simple and green strategy, has emerged as the most valuable and recent principle that deals with wastewater treatment, using uniquely fabricated nanomaterials. Among them, rapid and versatile electrospinning methods have been used for the construction of a large surface area, hierarchical and reusable nanofibers for environmental remediation. As a flexible and fast fabrication method, reviewing the use of electrospun photocatalytic nanofibers, influential parameters in electrospinning and their effectiveness in the generation of oxidizing agents are a promising platform for the fabrication of novel nanomaterials in photocatalytic degradation of dyes. This review discusses techniques for dye removal, electrospun nanofibers, their fabrication and application in photocatalysis; mechanism of photocatalytic degradation, and challenges and suggested remedies for electrospun nanofibers in photocatalysis.

Abstract
The basement membrane (BM) of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a thin extracellular matrix (ECM) sheet underneath the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), plays crucial roles in regulating the unique physiological barrier function of the BBB, which represents a major obstacle for brain drug delivery. Owing to the difficulty in mimicking the unique biophysical and chemical features of BM in in vitro systems, current in vitro BBB models have suffered from poor physiological relevance. Here, we describe a highly ameliorated human BBB model accomplished by an ultra-thin ECM hydrogel-based engineered basement membrane (nEBM), which is supported by a sparse electrospun nanofiber scaffold that offers in vivo BM-like microenvironment to BMECs. BBB model reconstituted on a nEBM recapitulates the physical barrier function of the in vivo human BBB through ECM mechano-response to physiological relevant stiffness (∼500 kPa) and exhibits high efflux pump activity. These features of the proposed BBB model enable modelling of ischemic stroke, reproducing the dynamic changes of BBB, immune cell infiltration, and drug response. Therefore, the proposed BBB model represents a powerful tool for predicting the BBB permeation of drugs and developing therapeutic strategies for brain diseases.

Abstract
This work is dedicated to combining nanotechnology with bone tissue engineering to prepare and characterize electrospun gelatin/monetite nanofibrous scaffold with improved physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. Nanofibrous scaffolds possessing fiber diameter in the range of 242-290 nm were prepared after incorporating varying content of monetite nanoparticles up to 7 wt % into the gelatin matrix using the electrospinning technique. Cross-linking of gelatin chains in the scaffold was performed using 0.25 wt% glutaraldehyde as indicated by imine (-CN-) bond formation in the FTIR analysis. With an increase in monetite addition up to 7 wt%, a decrease in swelling ratio and bio-degradability of cross-linked gelatin scaffolds was observed. Gelatin scaffold with 7 wt% monetite content registered the highest values of tensile strength and tensile modulus of 18.8 MPa and 170 MPa, as compared to 0% and 5 wt% monetite containing scaffolds respectively. Cell viability and differentiation were studied after culturing MG-63 cells onto the scaffolds from confocal microscopy of live and dead cells images, MTT assay, and alkaline phosphatase assay for a cell culture period of up to 21 days. It was observed that 7 wt % monetite containing gelatin scaffold exhibited better MG-63 cell adhesion, proliferation, higher biomineralization, and ALP activity compared to 0% and 5 wt% monetite containing electrospun scaffolds studied here.

Abstract
The antibacterial nanofibers have been proposed as an interesting material for wound healing management, since the majority of traditional wound dressings exhibit issues and complications such as infection, pain, discomfort, and poor adhesive proprieties. It allows the organism's passage through the dressing and delay the wound healing progression. Electrospun nanofibers have been intensively investigated for wound dressings in tissue engineering applications due to their distinctive features and structural similarities to the extracellular matrix including the various available methods to load the antibacterial compounds onto the nanofiber webs. To construct an effective electrospun wound dressing, various efforts have been made to design different strategies to develop advanced polymers, such as employing synthetic and/or natural materials, modifying fiber orientation, and incorporating chemicals and metallic nanoparticles (NPs) as intriguing materials for antibacterial bandages. Thus, this review summarizes the relevant recent studies on the production of electrospun antibacterial nanofibers from a wide variety of polymers used in biomedical applications for wound dressings.

Abstract
Development of ultra-fine fiber technology and nano-sized materials are widely taking place to enhance the characteristic of different materials. In our study, a newly developed technique was used to produce improvised nano energetic fibers with the exploitation of cis-1,3,4,6-Tetranitrooctahydroimidazo-[4,5-d] imidazole (BCHMX) to spin in a polystyrene nanofiber membrane. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the synthesized nanofibrous polystyrene (PS)/BCHMX sheets with clear and continual fiber were imaged with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Characterization of the produced nanofiber was examined by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Explosive sensitivity was also evaluated by both BAM impact and friction apparatus. Thermal behavior for the synthesized PS/BCHMX fiber and the pure materials were also investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show enhancement in the fabrication of nano energetic fibers with a size of 200-460 nm. The TG confirms the high weight percentage of BCHMX which reaches 60% of the total mass. PS/BCHMX fiber was confirmed with the XRD, FTIR spectrum. Interestingly, XRD sharp peaks showed the conversion of amorphous PS via electrospinning into crystalline shape regarding the applied high voltage. The synthesized PS/BCHMX nanofiber was considered insensitive to the mechanical external stimuli; more than 100 J impact energy and > 360 N initiation force as friction stimuli. PS/BCHMX is considering a candidate tool to deal with highly sensitive explosives safely and securely for explosives detection training purposes.

Abstract
Diabetic wound is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputations in which oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are main factors affecting wound healing. Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as living materials can promote skin regeneration, they are still vulnerable to oxidative stress which limits their clinical applications. Herein, we have prepared (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers electrospun with LPS/IFN-γ activated macrophage cell membrane. After defining physicochemical properties of the nanofibers modified by LPS/IFN-γ activated mouse RAW264.7 cell derived membrane (RCM-fibers), we demonstrated that the RCM-fibers improved BMMSC proliferation and keratinocyte migration upon oxidative stress in vitro. Moreover, bone marrow derived MSCs (BMMSCs)-loaded RCM-fibers (RCM-fiber-BMMSCs) accelerated wound closure accompanied by rapid re-epithelialization, collagen remodeling, antioxidant stress and angiogenesis in experimental diabetic wound healing in vivo. Transcriptome analysis revealed the upregulation of genes related to wound healing in BMMSCs when co-cultured with the RCM-fibers. Enhanced healing capacity of RCM-fiber-BMMSCs living material was partially mediated through CD200-CD200R interaction. Similarly, LPS/IFN-γ activated THP-1 cell membrane coated nanofibers (TCM-fibers) exhibited similar improvement of human BMMSCs (hBMMSCs) on diabetic wound healing in vivo. Our results thus demonstrate that LPS/IFN-γ activated macrophage cell membrane-modified nanofibers can in situ immunostimulate the biofunctions of BMMSCs, making this novel living material promising in wound repair of human diabetes.

Abstract
In this research, we propose to engineer a nanostructured mat that can simultaneously kill bacteria and promote an environment conducive to healing for prospective wound care. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose acetate (CA) were combined at different polymer ratios (100/0, 90/10, 80/20% v/v), electrospun and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde vapor. Crosslinked fibers increased in diameter (from 194 to 278 nm), retaining their uniform structure. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analyses proved the excellent miscibility between polymers. CA incorporation incremented the fibers swelling capacity and reduced the water vapor and air permeabilities of the mats, preventing the excessive drying of wounds. The antimicrobial peptide cys-pexiganan and the immunoregulatory peptide Tiger 17 were incorporated onto the mats via polyethylene glycol spacer (hydroxyl-PEG2-maleimide) and physisorbed, respectively. Time-kill kinetics evaluations revealed the mats effectiveness against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Tiger 17 played a major role in accelerating clotting of re-calcified plasma. Data reports for the first time the collaborative effect of pexiganan and Tiger 17 against bacterial infections and in boosting hemostasis. Cytocompatibility data verified the peptide-modified mats safety. Croslinked 90/10 PVA/CA mats were deemed the most promising combination due to their moderate hydrophilicity and permeabilities, swelling capacity, and high yields of peptide loading.

Abstract
Here, we developed chitosan (CS)-based nanofibrous scaffold consisting of tannic acid (TA) and zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) as a novel antibacterial and hemostatic wound dressing. The effect of MOF content and its incorporation within and onto CS/PVA-TA nanofibrous scaffolds were studied. The morphological characterization of fabricated nanofibrous scaffolds revealed the formation of uniform and bead-free nanofibers with an average diameter between 120 and 150 nm. The uniform and continuous decoration of MOF crystals on nanofibrous scaffold surfaces were confirmed by FESEM. The developed nanofibrous scaffolds exhibit appropriate physicochemical characteristics such as chemical and crystalline structure, surface wettability and swelling, and mechanical properties. It is shown that the incorporation of TA and MOFs greatly enhanced the hemostatic performance of the CS/PVA nanofibrous scaffold by providing rapid liquid absorbability and accelerating the aggregation of coagulation factors and platelets. Furthermore, the results of the MTT assay suggested the good biocompatibility of nanofibrous scaffolds containing MOF nanoparticles. The nanofibrous scaffolds exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The disk diffusion antibacterial assay showed that the nanofibrous scaffolds containing TA and MOF could protect wound from bacterial infection. The findings provide new insights to develop a MOF-modified nanofibrous structure with great potential for hemostatic wound dressing application.

Abstract
In this work, the electrospun polyacrylonitrile/covalent organic frameworks Tp-BD nanofibers (PAN/Tp-BD) were synthesized and applied as an adsorbent for thin film microextraction (TFME) of seven sulfonamides in animal derived food samples. The morphology, structure, porosity, and stability of the prepared nanofibers were investigated. The PAN/Tp-BD nanofibers exhibited good chemical stability, high flexibility, porous fibrous structure, and excellent extraction efficiency. Based on the PAN/Tp-BD nanofibers as the adsorbent, a thin film microextraction-high performance liquid chromatography (TFME-HPLC) method for the determination of seven sulfonamides (SAs) in food samples was developed. Under the optimal conditions, the TFME-HPLC exhibited the low limit of detection (0.10-0.18 ng·mL-1), the low limit of quantitation (0.33-0.60 ng·mL-1), the wide linear range (0.5-50 ng·mL-1) with correlation coefficients between 0.994 and 0.998, and good enrichment factors between 39.7 to 170.1 towards 20 ng/mL SAs solution. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was lower than 11% in the interday and intraday analysis. Furthermore, the applicability of PAN/Tp-BD nanofibers was demonstrated for measuring trace SAs residues in the spiked food samples with recoveries ranging from 85.3% to 115.2%. The results demonstrated that the PAN/Tp-BD nanofibers have great potential for the efficient extraction of sulfonamides from complex food samples.

Abstract
A series of alkyl gallates were evaluated for the antibacterial activity against two common Gram-negative foodborne bacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens and Vibrio parahaemolyticus) associated with seafood. The length of the alkyl chain plays a pivotal role in eliciting their antibacterial activities and octyl gallate (OG) exerted an excellent inhibitory efficacy. To extend the aqueous solubility, stability, and bactericidal properties of octyl gallate (OG), an inclusion complex between OG and β-cyclodextrin (βCD), OG/βCD, was prepared and identified with various methods including X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Furthermore, the enhanced inhibitory effect and potential antibacterial mechanism of OG/βCD against two Gram-negative and Gram-positive foodborne bacteria were comprehensively investigated. The results show that OG/βCD could function against bacteria through effectively damaging the membrane, permeating into cells, and then disturbing the activity of the respiratory electron transport chain to cause the production of high-level intracellular hydroxyl radicals. Moreover, the reinforced OG/βCD-incorporated polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers were fabricated using the electrospinning technique as food packaging to extend the Chinese giant salamander fillet's shelf life at 4 °C. This research highlights the antibacterial effectiveness of OG/βCD in aqueous media, which can be used as a safe multi-functionalized food additive combined with the benefits of electrospun nanofibers to extend the Chinese giant salamander fillets shelf life by 15 d at 4 °C.

Abstract
Hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC) are the two major dihydroxybenzene isomers, are considered one of the toxic pollutants in wastewater, which often coexisted and impede each other during sample identification. For practical analysis and simultaneous detection of HQ and CC in wastewater, we fabricate a hybrid electrochemical sensor with electrospun one-dimensional (1D) MnMoO4 nanofibers coupled with a few-layered exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) MXene. The facilitated abundant defective edges of 1D MnMoO4 and 2D MXene nanoarchitecture accelerated the effect of synergistic signal amplification and exhibited high electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of hydroquinone and catechol. MnMoO4-MXene-GCE showed oxidation potentials of 0.102 V and 0.203 V for hydroquinone and catechol, respectively. It revealed the distinguished and simultaneous detection range of 0.101 V with a strong anodic peak current. Noteworthily, the proposed 1D-2D hybridized MnMoO4-MXene-GCE sensor exhibited a wide linear response from 5 nM to 65 nM for hydroquinone and catechol. Moreover, it showed a low detection limit of 0.26 nM and 0.30 nM for HQ and CC with high stability, respectively. The feasible 1D-2D MnMoO4-MXene nanocomposite-based biosensor effectively detected hydroquinone and catechol in hazardous water pollutants using the differential pulse voltammetric technique with recovery values.

Abstract
Copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) has been elected as a newly-emerging green disinfectant to deal with membrane biofouling in the treatment of bacteria-contaminated water; however, the decoration strategy of it with the granular form on membrane substrates limits the practical application. Here a novel surface-confined methodology was proposed for preparing freestanding Cu(OH)2 nanosheet-assembled nanofibrous membranes (CNNMs) with the anti-biofouling property via the in-suit coprecipitation and heat-induced growth method. The vertically aligned Cu(OH)2 nanosheets were in-suit rooted on the surface of the nanofiber scaffold with high binding fastness. The acquired CNNMs possess comprehensive performances of high porosity, prominent mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and superior bactericidal efficiency of 99.999%, which endowed the CNNMs ultrahigh filtration fluxes (24000 L m-2 h-1) and durability to disinfect bacteria-containing water effectively. This facile strategy may throw light on manufacturing novel inorganic nanosheet-rooted nanofibrous membranes for water disinfection and public health.

Abstract
In this study, due to the favorable properties of MOF compounds and fibrous materials, new nanostructures of Zr-MOF/PVP nanofibrous composites were synthesized by electrospinning procedure. The related features of these samples were characterized by relevant analyzes, including SEM, BET surface area analysis, XRD, and FTIR spectroscopy. The final product showed significant properties such as small particle size distribution, large surface area, and high crystallinity. This strategy for producing these nanostructures could lead to new compounds as novel alternative materials for biological applications. Lipase MG10 was successfully immobilized on the mentioned nanofibrous composites and biochemically characterized. The lipase activity of free and immobilized lipases was considered by measuring the absorbance of pNPP (500 μM in 40 mM Tris/HCl buffer, pH 7.8, and 0.01% Triton X100) at 37 °C for 30 min. Different concentrations of glutaraldehyde, different crosslinking times, different times of immobilization, different enzyme loading, and different pH values have been optimized. Results showed that the optimized immobilization condition was achieved in 2.5% glutaraldehyde, after 2 h of crosslinking time, after 6 h immobilization time, using 180 mg protein/g support at pH 9.0. The immobilized enzyme was also totally stable after 180 min incubation at 60 °C. The free enzyme showed the maximum activity at pH 9.0, but the optimal pH of the immobilized lipase was shifted about 1.5 pH units to the alkaline area. The immobilized lipase showed about 2.7 folds (78%) higher stability than the free enzyme at 50 °C. Some divalent metal ions, including Cu2+ (22%), Co2+ (37%), Mg2+ (12%), Hg2+ (11%), and Mn2+ (17%) enhanced the enzyme activity of immobilized enzyme. The maximum biodiesel production (27%) from R. communis oil was obtained after 18 h of incubation by lipase MG10. The immobilized lipase displayed high potency in biodiesel production, about 83% after 12 h of incubation. These results indicated the high potency of Zr-MOF/PVP nanofibrous composites for efficient lipase immobilization.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely applied for pollutants removal in water. However, the powdered MOFs are always suffered from aggregation during use and difficult collection after use. These problems discount their efficiency and inhibit their reusability. In this work, Zr-based MOF (UiO-66) was successfully imprisoned into a water-stable polyacrylonitrile (PAN) substrate by electrospinning. The containing UiO-66 hybrid membrane was confirmed by instrumental characterizations and its stability was also investigated by ICP-OES analysis. The obtained composite membrane can efficiently remove both arsenite (AsIII) and arsenate (AsV) from water under natural pH conditions. The adsorption kinetic fitted well with pseudo-second-order model and was dominated by chemisorption. Its adsorption isotherm can be described by Langmuir model. The maximal adsorption capacities of the hybrid membrane for As(V) and As(III) were 42.17 mg/g and 32.90 mg/g, respectively. Our results demonstrated that the MOFs-dispersed electrospun nanofiber membrane can greatly inherit the MOFs' original adsorption properties and exhibits good regenerability without loss of MOFs. Electrospinning is an effective and practical method for the preparation of MOFs hybrid membrane, which makes the composite very easy to be collected after use.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers (NFs) were utilized to realize the dual-stage release of curcumin (Curc) to fully support the attachment, viability and proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) with a delay in cellular senescence. For this purpose, both free Curc and Curc-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Curc@MSNs) were integrated into the electrospun polycaprolactone/gelatin (PCL/GEL) nanofibrous scaffolds and characterized via FTIR, BET, FE-SEM and TEM. In vitro drug release results demonstrated strong dual stage-discharge of Curc from the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs. Because of the combination of initial rapid release and late extended drug release, hADSCs cultured on the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs showed the greatest adhesion, metabolic activity and proliferation rate with a fibroblastic phenotype after 28 days of culture. Besides, a significant reduction in senescence-associated lysosomal α-L-fucosidase (SA-α-Fuc) expression and activity was also measured in hADSCs cultured on the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs. Moreover, not only the expression of hTERT in mRNA and protein levels was considerably increased in hADSCs seeded on the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs, but also the telomerase activity and telomere length were significantly enhanced in the scaffolds compared to the other types of scaffolds and control group. These results uncovered the potential of the two-stage discharge profile of Curc from Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs to provide the biofunctionality of long-term cultured hADSCs for efficient stem cell-based regenerative therapies.

Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize cellulose acetate (CA)-based electrospun nanofibers as drug delivery dressings for chronic wound healing. For the first time, CA was blended with polyethylene oxide (PEO) using acetone and formic acid. Methylene blue (MB) was incorporated into monolayered random CA/PEO nanofibers. They had a diameter of 400-600 nm, were hydrophilic, and generated reactive oxygen species upon irradiation. Thus, they mediated antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) against isolated biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacterial survival, biofilm mass, and produced pyocyanin of the treated groups declined by 90%, 80%, and 3 folds, respectively. On the other hand, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) was loaded into an innovative trilayered aligned nanofiber consisting of CA/PEO surrounding a blank layer of silk fibroin. Cipro and MB release followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. An infected diabetic wound mouse model was established and treated with either MB-aPDI or Cipro. A combined therapy group of MB-aPDI followed by Cipro was included. The combined therapy showed significantly better results than monotherapies delineated by elevation in re-epithelization, collagen deposition, CD34, and TGF-β expression, along with a decline in CD95+ cells. This study deduced that drug-loaded CA electrospun nanofibers might be exploited in multimodal chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a Gram-negative spoilage bacterium and dense biofilm producer, causing food spoilage and persistent contamination. Here, we report an ultra-efficient photodynamic inactivation (PDI) system based on blue light (BL) and octyl gallate (OG) to eradicate bacteria and biofilms of P. fluorescens. OG-mediated PDI could lead to a > 5-Log reduction of viable cell counts within 15 min for P. fluorescens. The activity is exerted through rapid penetration of OG towards the cells with the generation of a high-level toxic reactive oxygen species triggered by BL irradiation. Moreover, OG plus BL irradiation can efficiently not only prevent the formation of biofilms but also scavenge the existing biofilms. Additionally, it was shown that the combination of OG/poly(lactic acid) electrospun nanofibers and BL have great potential as antimicrobial packagings for maintaining the freshness of the salamander storge. These prove that OG-mediated PDI can provide a superior platform for eradicating bacteria and biofilm.

Abstract
Herein, the fabrication of electrospun nanocomposites, using polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PNF) modified with nano-bentonite and fly ash, is explained. Further, the use of electrospun adsorbent for the remediation of Pb (II) ions from water has been explored. Pristine PNF and nanocomposites were characterized using SEM, EDX, and FTIR to analyze surface topology, elemental composition, and functional groups, respectively. The adsorptive behavior of developed adsorbents was investigated using the effects of dosage, initial concentration, time, and temperature. Pseudo-second order kinetics fit well with experimental data and the adsorption followed intra-particle diffusion. The thermodynamics study confirmed spontaneous endothermic adsorption of the heavy metal. Nanocomposites-based adsorbents showed improved adsorption capacity for Pb (II) ions compared to pristine PNF.

Abstract
The biology of immediate post-extraction implant osseointegration is mediated by a coordinated cascade of osteoblast-osteoclast interactions. The aim of this study was to develop a dual-delivery system that allowed sequential release of substance P (SP) to promote bone regeneration and alendronate (ALN) to reduce bone resorption, which will improve the implant osseointegration. We used coaxial electrospinning to fabricate the core-shell poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)/gelatin nanofibers, which consists of SP in the shell and ALN in the core. This programmed delivery system was shown to release SP and ALN sequentially to match the spatio-temporal specificity of bone healing. The migration assay demonstrated that the SP-ALN dual-delivery system increased bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transmigration. Besides, the expression of osteogenic/osteoclastic markers, Alizarin Red staining, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, F-actin staining and bone resorption experiment showed that the dual-delivery system can render a microenvironment favorable for osteogenic differentiation and adverse to osteoclastogenesis. Using a rat immediate implant model, we validated the promoted osteogenic property and osseointegration around the implants of SP-ALN dual-delivery system by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis. These findings suggest that the dual-delivery system with time-controlled release of SP and ALN by core-shell nanofibers provides a promising strategy to facilitate immediate implant osseointegration through favorable osteogenesis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Immediate implant placement is potentially challenged by the difficulties in achieving primary implant stability and early osteogenesis. Initial period of osteointegration is regulated by osteoblastic/osteoclastic cells resulting in a coordinated healing process. To have an efficient bone regeneration, the coaxial electrospinning was used to fabricate a programmed dual-delivery system. The SP released rapidly and favored for BMSCs migration and osteogenic differentiation, while the sustained release of ALN can reduce the bone resorption. The rat immediate implant model indicated that the SP-ALN dual-delivery system could present the promoted peri‑implant osteogenic property and osseointegration through modulating the osteogenesis-osteoclastogenesis balance. This work highlights the sequential dual delivery of SP and ALN has a promising potential of achieving enhanced osseointegration for immediate implant placement.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the biophysical properties of the chitosan-grafted poly(lactic acid) (CH-g-PLA) nanofibers loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and chondroitin-4-sulfate (C4S). The electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers were manufactured using the electrospinning technique. The microstructure of the CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers was investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. ATR-FTIR and 1H-NMR confirm the CH grafting successfully by PLA with a substitution degree of 33.4%. The SEM measurement results indicated apparently smooth nanofibers having a diameter range of 340 ± 18 nm with porosity of 89 ± 3.08% and an average pore area of 0.27 μm2. UV-Vis and XRD suggest that silver nanoparticles with the size distribution of 30 nm were successfully incorporated into the electrospun nanofibers. The water contact angle of 12.8 ± 2.7° reveals the hydrophilic nature of the CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers has been improved by C4S. The electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers are found to release ions Ag+ at a concentration level capable of rendering an antimicrobial efficacy. Gram-positive bacteria (S.aureus) were more sensitive to CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S than Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli). The electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers exhibited no cytotoxicity to the L-929 fibroblast cells, suggesting cytocompatibility. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that C4S promotes the adhesion and proliferation of fibroblast cells onto electrospun CH-g-PLA:AgNP:C4S nanofibers.

Abstract
Owing to the structural replication of native extracellular matrix, nonwoven mats of electrospun nanofibers have great potential for use in wound healing. Herein, we report the design and fabrication of a sandwich wound dressing to balance its antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility. This success mainly relies on the incorporation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into electrospun nanofibers, together with the rational design of a sandwich structure for the dressing. The bottom layer was composed of hydrophilic nanofibers made from a blend of polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin (Gel). The top layer consisted of hydrophobic PCL nanofibers. AgNP-loaded PCL/Gel nanofibers were sandwiched between the two layers. When compared with a commercial silver sulfadiazine dressing, the designed wound dressing showed competitive antimicrobial properties, lower cell toxicity, and accelerated wound closure for mouse skin injury. By balancing the biocompatibility of electrospun nanofibers and the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of AgNPs within a sandwich structure, the novel multifunctional wound dressing could be valuable for effective wound healing and related applications.

Abstract
Glucose determination is one of the most common analyses in clinical chemistry. Employing biosensors for this purpose has become the method of choice for home use for diabetic patients. To limit the impact of dissolved O2 concentration or possible interferences (known hindrances in the classical glucose detection approach), a variety of mediated pathways have been explored. Herein, an ingenious, facile and low-cost approach for immobilization of redox mediator within nanofibrous mats is presented. This '2nd generation' biosensor is able to avoid common issues such as leaching or diffusion barriers whilst providing the necessary close contact between the enzyme and the redox shuttle, for enhancing the detection accuracy and accelerate the response. Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers loaded with carbon nanotubes and ferrocene (PAN/Fc/MWCNT-COOH NFs) have been successfully prepared and applied as biosensing matrices upon cross-linking of glucose oxidase (GOD). The morphology of the NFs was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) and correlated to the kinetics of mediated electron transfer and to the efficiency in glucose detection, which were evaluated through cyclic voltammetry (CV) and amperometric measurements. The content of Fc was varied from 0.5 to 5.0 wt%, with optimum biosensor performance at 1.0 wt% exhibiting a linear range up to 8.0 × 10-3 M with sensitivity of ~27.1 mAM-1 cm-2 and 4.0 μM LOD. Excellent stability (RSD 2.68%) during 40 consecutive measurements along with insignificant interference and accurate recovery in real sample analysis (~100%) make for a very reliable sensor that can easily render itself to miniaturization and has the potential for a wide range of practical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The alarming rise of multi-drug resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa has prompted the World Health Organization to consider it a serious threat to human health. Although phage (Phg), an effective antibacterial treatment option, can maintain long-term infectivity via lyophilized storage, freeze-drying can be expensive and time-consuming. Thus, we propose electrospun gelatin/fibroin (G/F) nanofibrous formulation for dehydrating and storing phage against MDR P. aeruginosa. SIGNIFICANCE The formulation of phage within the nanofibrous structure of the electrospun G/F scaffold would result in antimicrobial activity against MDR P. aeruginosa leading to enhanced wound healing. METHODS Phg effective against MDR P. aeruginosa was isolated, characterized and loaded within G/F nanofibers by electrospinning. Morphology, crystallinity and thermal stability as well as the antimicrobial activity and the biocompatibility of the developed G/F/Phg nanofibers were determined. RESULTS Phg-loaded G/F nanofibers revealed an amorphous structure with good thermal stability at temperatures below 300 °C and exhibited effective antibacterial activity against MDR P. aeruginosa with ∼2 log reduction in the bacterial count which increased to ∼4 log reduction in bacterial count after 16 h as compared to both the G/F nanofibers and the negative control. Lack of cytotoxic effects on cultured fibroblasts supported the biocompatibility of G/F/Phg nanofibers. CONCLUSION The developed G/F/Phg nanofibers are able to maintain the viability of phage and represent a promising antimicrobial dressing for wounds infected with MDR P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
An online micro solid-phase extraction (online-µSPE) using electrospun nanofibers, as an efficient sorbent, was developed to extract chlorobenzenes (CBs) from paddy soil, agricultural wastewater, and food samples (fruit juices, vegetables, rice samples) followed by high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Electrospun nanofibers were fabricated using a nanocomposite containing polyacrylonitrile and Zn-metal organic framework 74 @graphene oxide (PAN/Zn-MOF-74@GO), and subsequently characterized. Under the optimal conditions, acceptable linearity was obtained in the range of 0.25-700.00 ng mL-1 for 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB) and 2.50-700.00 ng mL-1 for both 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene (1,2,3-TCB) and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) with determination coefficients ≥ 0.9991. The limits of detection ranged from 0.08 to 1.10 ng mL-1. The intra-day and inter-day single fiber and fiber to fiber relative standard deviations were observed in the range of 4.1%-9.5% and 5.8%-12.1%, respectively. The performance of this method was examined by determining the target analytes in the different spiked samples.

Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate the effects of the Poly-ε-Caprolactone/Gelatin nanofibers (PCL/GEL NFs) co-encapsulated with TiO2 nanoparticles (nTiO2) and metformin-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MET@MSNs) on prolonging the in vitro expansion of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) without inducing cellular senescence and aging. FTIR, BET, FE-SEM, and TEM were applied to characterize the fabricated MET@MSNs and electrospun composite NFs. The presence of inorganic particles, nTiO2 and MSNs, in the scaffolds improved their mechanical properties and led to a more sustained release of MET with almost the lack of the initial burst release from nTiO2/MET@MSNs-loaded NFs. The enhanced adhesion, metabolic activity, and proliferation rate of the hADSCs grown on nTiO2/MET@MSNs-loaded NFs were demonstrated via FE-SEM images, MTT test and PicoGreen assay, respectively, over 28 days of culture. Furthermore, the irregular nanofibrillar structures and the impact of sustained release of MET led to a significant upregulation in the mRNA levels of autophagy (Atg-5, Atg-7, Atg-12, and Beclin-1) and stemness (Nanog3, Sox-2, and Oct-4) markers as well as a considerable down-regulation of p16INK4A senescence marker. Further, the upregulation of hTERT, enhanced activity of telomerase, and increased telomere length were more pronounced in the hADSCs cultured on nTiO2/MET@MSNs-loaded NFs as compared to other types of NFs. Overall, our findings demonstrated the potential of the fabricated nanocomposite platform for counteracting cellular senescence and achieving sufficient quantities of fresh hADSCs with preserved stemness for various stem cell-based regenerative medicine purposes.

Abstract
A successful regenerative process has to consider the role of immune system after surgical implantation of a polymer-based matrix due to the reaction of monocytes and macrophages cells after contact with biomaterial. Pro-inflammatory (TNF-alfa, IL-6 and IL-8) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines released by macrophages cells are fundamental in acute inflammatory response (2-3 days) to destroy pathogens and help scaffold during regenerative process supporting the up-regulation of ECM and endothelial progenitor cells. Aim of this work was to evaluate the in vitro acute response induced by pre-optimized polymeric electrospun matrices (EL-Ms), after 3 days contact with macrophages (M0) and EL-Ms ability to modulate M1 and/or M2 macrophages polarization. Biological characterization included MTT, LDH and Live/Dead assays, immunological characterization by ELISA for cytokine-expression levels determination. Morphological characterization was carried out by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results showed an initial pro-inflammatory response (after 24 h) characterized by release of TNF-alfa, IL-6 and IL-8 cytokines. A preferential anti-inflammatory response was highlighted after 72 h, demonstrated by higher release of IL-10 and elongation of macrophages in contact with EL-Ms, that is typical of M2 cell polarization. EL-Ms could be used as eligible support to enhance tissue regeneration promoting an anti-inflammatory response.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers regarding their special features, including high drug loading capacity, high surface to volume area, flexibility, and ease of production and operation, are of great interest for being used in tissue engineering, and drug delivery approaches. In this context, several studies have been done for the production of biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds containing different anticancer agents for fighting with solid tumors. Surprisingly, these scaffolds are able to deliver different combinations of drugs and agents, such as nanoparticles and release them in a time dependent manner. Here in this review, we summarize the principles of electrospinning and their uses in entrapment of drugs and anti-proliferative agents suitable for cancer therapy. The latest studies performed on treating cancer using electrospinning are mentioned and their advantages and disadvantages over conventional treatment methods are discussed.
