Continuous Chitosan/Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) Nanofiber in Collagen Hydrogel to Prepare Mechanically Robust Fibrous Nanocomposite for Tissue Engineering
Front Cover: In article 2500230, Amir Mellati, Somayeh Shahani, and co-workers present a collagen hydrogel reinforced with chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers via wet electrospinning. The nanocomposite exhibits enhanced mechanical strength, reduced degradation, and improved cellular compatibility, retaining a nanofibrous microstructure that mimics the extracellular matrix, ideal for soft tissue engineering applications like cartilage and skin regeneration.
