Taking inspiration from the structures of roots, stems and leaves of trees in nature, a biomimetic three-layered scaffold was designed for efficient water management and cell recruitment. Using polycaprolactone (PCL) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as raw materials, radially oriented nanofiber films and...
