Many types of polymer nanofibers have been introduced as artificial extracellular matrices. Their controllable properties, such as wettability, surface charge, transparency, elasticity, porosity and surface to volume proportion, have attracted much attention. Moreover, functionalizing polymers with other bioactive components could enable the engineering of microenvironments to host cells for regenerative medical applications. In the current brief review, we focus on the most recently cited electrospun nanofibrous polymeric scaffolds and divide them into five main categories: natural polymer-natural polymer composite, natural polymer-synthetic polymer composite, synthetic polymer-synthetic polymer composite, crosslinked polymers and reinforced polymers with inorganic materials. Then, we focus on their physiochemical, biological and mechanical features and discussed the capability and efficiency of the nanofibrous scaffolds to function as the extracellular matrix to support cellular function.

Scaffolds-based tissues engineering involves the combination of an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM), living cells, with high porosity and well connected pores that will provide suitable environment for cells. In this study, firstly, poly (caprolactone) (PCL)-based microspheres were synthesized and characterized. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) (0.04% w/v) was added into the microspheres produced from 5% (w/v) PCL concentration. BSA loaded microspheres were then incorporated into chitosan solution to fabricate porous scaffolds. The scaffolds were then characterized using different techniques.
