Abstract: The article provides useful insights on some recent and significant trends in the role of textiles in tissue engineering. Textile scaffolds can be found in a variety of application areas in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. In the present study we used electrostatic flocking-a well-known textile technology-to produce scaffolds for tissue engineering of bone. Flock scaffolds stand out due to their unique structure: parallel arranged fibers that are aligned perpendicularly to a substrate, resulting in mechanically stable structures with a high porosity. The benefits offered by microfibrous scaffold architectures fabricated by textile manufacturing techniques are discussed.
