Electrospun nanofibers have tremendous potential as novel scaffolds for tissue engineering of various soft and hard tissues because of thier high surface area, surface functional groups, interconnected pores, and nano-scaled size. In this chapter, we reviewed the types of the nanofibrous scaffolds that have been used as implantable biomedical devices and used electrospun nanofibrous guided tiss...
