| Abstract Scope |
Electrospun nanofibres are emerging as next-generation wound dressings due to their high surface area, tunable porosity, and ability to mimic native skin architecture. This mini-review discusses recent advances in electrospun polymeric nanofibres for wound healing applications, focusing on natural and synthetic materials such as chitosan, PCL, and PVA. Functionalization strategies incorporating growth factors, antimicrobial agents, and stimuli-responsive elements are critically reviewed. The role of fiber morphology in modulating cellular responses and accelerating re-epithelialization is also examined. Emphasis is placed on clinical progress, regulatory hurdles, and the translational potential of nanofibrous wound dressings. |
