Solution blow spinning (SBS) has recently emerged as a novel method that can produce
nano-and microfiber structures suitable for tissue engineering. Gelatin is an excellent
precursor for SBS as it is derived mainly from collagens that are abundant in natural
extracellular matrices. Here we report, for the first time the successful generation of 3D
thermally crosslinked preforms by using SBS from porcine gelatin. These SBS mats were
shown to have three-dimensional fibrous porous structure similar to that of mammalian …
