Abstract

Abstract : Flock Fibers In article number 2100766 by Jingwei Xie and co‐workers, a new technique for electrostatic flocking is used to create anisotropic structures and surfaces for regenerative medicine applications. Using this method, electrospun nanofiber mats, 3D‐printed meshes, and nanofiber tubes are surface‐coated with flock fibers. Such materials are evaluated in vitro and in vivo and show promise as tissue engineering scaffolds.
