Abstract

The repair of large bone defects using biomaterials-based strategies has been a significant challenge because of the complex characteristics required for tissue regeneration, especially in the craniofacial region. Tissue engineering strategies aimed at the restoration of function face challenges in material selection, synthesis technique, and choice of bioactive factor release in combination with all aforementioned facets. Biomimetic nanofibrous (NF) scaffolds are attractive vehicles for tissue engineering because of their ability to promote endogenous bone regeneration by mimicking the shape and chemistry of natural bone extracellular matrix (ECM). To date, several techniques for generation of biomimetic NF scaffolds have been discovered, each possessing several advantages and drawbacks. This spotlight highlights two of the more popular techniques for biomimetic NF scaffold synthesis, electrospinning and thermally induced phase separation (TIPS), covering development from inception in each technique as well as discussing the most recent innovations in each fabrication method.
