As a low cost, biocompatible, and bioresorbable synthetic polymer, poly (ɛ-
caprolactone)(PCL) is widely used for different biomedical applications including drug …

Fabrication of an appropriate skin scaffold needs to meet several standards related to the
mechanical and biological properties. Fully natural/green scaffolds with acceptable …

In this study, the carvone-loaded zein/pullulan electrospun nanofibers (Z/PUL/CAR NFs)
were developed and characterized for the first time. The zein/pullulan hybrid NFs were …

Polysaccharides (PSA) have taken specific position among biomaterials for advanced
applications in medicine. Nevertheless, poor mechanical properties are known as the main …

Inspired by nature, innovative devices have been made to imitate the morphology and
functions of natural red blood cells (RBCs). Here, we report a red blood cell-mimetic …

A set of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) incorporated ethyl cellulose/
polyvinylpyrrolidone scaffolds was prepared by electrospinning method. The impact of …

Background Zein is the major protein in corn and the main byproduct of the starch industry
and, therefore, crucial for global agricultural commodities. Its unique fibre-forming properties …

In a previous study, we developed electrospun antimicrobial microfiber scaffolds for wound
healing composed of a core of zein protein and a shell containing polyethylene oxide. While …

Silver-nanoparticles are renowned for anti-bacterial properties but which carry toxicity-
related concerns. Green-chemistry methods are promising to overcome these challenges …

Being the first barrier between the human body and external environments, our skin is highly
vulnerable to injuries. As one of the conventional therapies, botanicals prepared in different …
