The improvement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is strictly related to the development of suitable scaffolds, displaying structural and chemical properties matching as much as possible those of the extracellular matrix (ECM). On this field, the development of scaffolds via electrospinning of natural polymers coupled with the use of solvents and crosslinking agents with low toxicity is of outstanding interest. In this study we optimized the working conditions in order to prepare electrospun gelatin scaffolds able to retain the original nanofibers morphology after exposure to water.

Abstract
The improvement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is strictly related to the development of suitable scaffolds, displaying structural and chemical properties matching as much as possible those of the extracellular matrix (ECM). On this field, the development of scaffolds via electrospinning of natural polymers coupled with the use of solvents and crosslinking agents with low toxicity is of outstanding interest. In this study we optimized the working conditions in order to prepare electrospun gelatin scaffolds able to retain the original nanofibers morphology after exposure to water.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
