Benefits of technology

[0028]In some embodiments, the scaffold may be preseeded with stem cells or cells similar or identical to the tissue or organ in need of regeneration. In other embodiments a scaffold once in place may become populated with cells that migrate into it or otherwise attach to it and help heal or regenerate a target tissue.
[0031]In another embodiment, the scaffold as disclosed herein may be used to treat or enhance healing or regeneration of a poorly vascularized or avascular tissues such dense connective tissue or cartilage.

Problems solved by technology

Despite the flexibility and other advantages of electrospinning processes, few studies report the development of a hollow fibrous structure by electrospinning due to the complexity in preparing and characterizing hollow electrospun fiber structures; Lee, G. H., et al., Controlled wall thickness and porosity of polymeric hollow nanofibers by coaxial electrospinning.
This is a significant problem because hollow fibrous scaffolds are highly desirable in many tissue engineering applications.
