Taking into account all these features, electrospun collagen nanofibers present themselves as an appropriate material for tissue engineering of scaffolds. Fabricated and modified collagen nanofibers are becoming more common in bone, cartilage, skin, cardiovascular, and numerous other TE applications [161-164]. 

One of the limitations of electrospun collagen as bone-like fibrous structure is the potential collagen triple hetix denaturation in the fiber state and the corresponding inadequate wet stability even after...
