Application of polymeric nanofibers in medical designs,part IV: Drug and biological materials delivery

Nanotechnology has potential applications in different sciences, especially in the biological sciences and medicine. The development of nanofibers has greatly enhanced the scope for fabricating designs that can potentially use in medical sciences. Nanofibers mimic the porous topography of natural extracellular matrix, and are advantageous for tissue regeneration and also sustained release of encapsulated drug or growth factor. In part IV the author summarizes the currently available applications of nanofibers in drug and biological materials delivery.
