In this study, coaxial electrospinning was used to fabricate core-sheath fibers with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) concentration gradient encapsulated within the shell of the Poly(caprolactone) (PCL) fibers. Cells respond to gradients in biochemical signals. The ability to incorporate biochemical gr...
