New Nanofibers Study Findings Recently Were Reported by Researchers at Chongqing University

2011 SEP 8 -- Research findings, "Electrospun poly ('-caprolactone)/silk fibroin core-sheath nanofibers and their potential applications in tissue engineering and drug release," are discussed in a new report. According to the authors of a study from Chongqing, People's Republic of China, "One of the key tenets of tissue engineering is to develop scaffold materials with favorable biodegradability, surface properties, outstanding mechanical strength and controlled drug release property. In this study, we generated core-sheath nanofibers composed of poly ('-caprolactone) (PCL) and silk fibroin (SF) blends via emulsion electrospinning."

"Nanofibrous scaffolds...
