Core-shell scaffolds containing aligned nanofiber yarns. (a) Schematic depiction of core-shell column and sheet scaffolds by combining electrospun, aligned nanofiber yarns (NFYs) and hydrogen shell composed of photocurable poly(ethylene glycol)-co-poly(glycerol sebacate) (PEGS-M). (b) Fluorescence-based visualization of core-shell structure showing aligned, 100 μm diameter nanofiber yarn encapsulated by PEGS-M. (c) C2C12 adhesion and proliferation on aligned NFY within PEGS-M shell. Reprinted with permission, Copyright © 2015 American Chemical Society.[19]
