3D printed mesh reinforcements enhance the mechanical properties of electrospun scaffolds

Abstract Background There is substantial interest in electrospun scaffolds as substrates for tissue regeneration and repair due to their fibrous, extracellular matrix-like composition with interconnected porosity, cost-effective production, and scalability. However, a common limitation of these scaf...
