Hierarchically structured polymer fibers encompassing 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D structures with at
least one dimension nano-to micro-meters in size have recently received an increasing …

Engineered scaffolds produced by electrospinning of biodegradable polymers offer a 3D,
nanofibrous environment with controllable structural, chemical, and mechanical properties …

This paper describes the preparation, characterization, and evaluation of honey/
tripolyphosphate (TPP)/chitosan (HTCs) nanofibers loaded with capsaicin derived from the …

This article reviews the recent progress of electrospun nanofibers in cancer research. It
begins with a brief introduction to the emerging potential of electrospun nanofibers in cancer …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a significant factor in cancer progression. Collagens, as the
main component of the ECM, are greatly remodeled alongside cancer development. More …

Solid tumors are characterized by a remodeled and stiffened extracellular matrix. The
extracellular matrix is not a passive by-product of the tumor, but actively compromises tissue …

Surface modification of hydrophobic nanofibers (NFs) to introduce cell-interactive chemical
functionalities remains a challenge in biomedical applications. This study presents a novel …

A simple method based upon masked electrospray is reported for directly generating both
unidirectional and bidirectional density gradients of biomacromolecular particles on …

The tumor microenvironment highly influences cancer cell modes and dynamics, above all
during invasive and metastatic processes. When aiming at studying cancer cell behavior in …

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) mainly develops in the head of the pancreas,
within the acino-ductal unit composed of acinar and ductal cells surrounded by pancreatic …
