Zusammenfassung:The present application is directed to the field of scaffolds for tissue engineering. The scaffolds are typically comprised of nanofibers and are optionally biomineralized. The present application provides a process for forming nanofibrous materials via electrospinning and for biomineralizing such materials. The scaffolds of the present application can be biomineralized and contain a plurality of cells either on or within the scaffold, resulting in synthetic, bioresorbable scaffolds that can be used in various biomedical applications, such as for bone regeneration.
