Electrospun hyaluronate-collagen nanofibrous matrix and the effects of varying the concentration of hyaluronate on the characteristics of foreskin fibroblast cells.
TL;DR: The ratio of expression of TIMP1 to MMP1 was lower in foreskin fibroblast cells that were cultured on a hyaluronate-collagen composite nanofibrous matrix than in those cultured on an exclusively collagen nanofIBrous matrix, indicating that the hyaluronate-Collagen composite Nanofibous matrix could potentially be used as a wound dressing for the regeneration of scarless skin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrical conductivity of the electrospun fiber mats was lower than that of the cast films produced by casting, probably because of the lower degree of crystallinity of the polyaniline dispersion and the high porosity of the nonwoven mat.

3D Cell Culture Systems: Tumor Application, Advantages, and Disadvantages.
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between 2D and 3D cell cultures is presented, and different types of natural supports such as matrigel, hydrogels, hard supports, and synthetic strategies of 3D matrices such as lyophilization, electrospiding, stereolithography, microfluid are compared.

Disintegration of Water Drops in an Electric Field
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a conical interface between two fluids can exist in equilibrium in an electric field, but only when the cone has a semi-vertical angle 49.3$^\circ$.

Bending instability of electrically charged liquid jets of polymer solutions in electrospinning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed and explained the reasons for the instability of a viscous jet of polymer solution at a pendent droplet, showing that the longitudinal stress caused by the external electric field acting on the charge carried by the jet stabilized the straight jet for some distance.

Electrically driven jets
TL;DR: Van Dyke as mentioned in this paper measured the potentials at which viscous jets or drops first appear in a parallel electric field and compared with calculations of A. B. Basset and found that their stability is due to mechanical rather than electrical causes, like a stretched string, which is straight when pulled but bent when pushed.
