Cell electrospinning and its application in wound healing: principles, techniques and prospects.

Currently, clinical strategies for the treatment of wounds are limited, especially in terms of achieving rapid wound healing. In recent years, based on the technique of electrospinning (ES), cell electrospinning (C-ES) has been developed to better repair related tissues or organs (such as skin, fat and muscle) by encapsulating living cells in a microfiber or nanofiber environment and constructing 3D living fiber scaffolds. Therefore, C-ES has promising prospects for promoting wound healing. In this article, C-ES technology and its advantages, the differences between C-ES and traditional ES, the parameters suitable for maintaining cytoactivity, and material selection and design issues are summarized. In addition, we review the application of C-ES in the fields of biomaterials and cells. Finally, the limitations and improved methods of C-ES are discussed. In conclusion, the potential advantages, limitations and prospects of C-ES application in wound healing are presented.
