  • Electrospun scaffolds and methods of generating and using same
    Patent number: 8911996
    Abstract: A porous scaffold is disclosed, the porous scaffold comprising electrospun polymeric nanofibers, wherein an average diameter of a pore of the porous scaffold is about 300 ?m is disclosed. An average diameter of the polymeric nanofibers ranges from about 100 to 400 nm. The scaffold may comprise a plurality of particles, the particles being greater than about 1 ?m in diameter. Methods of fabricating scaffolds, methods for generating tissue and methods of using scaffolds for tissue reconstruction are also disclosed.
