## Abstract Engineering a functional replacement for the annulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral disc is contingent upon recapitulation of AF structure, composition, and mechanical properties. In this study, we propose a new paradigm for AF tissue engineering that focuses on the reconstitution

## Abstract Polymeric nanofiber matrices have already been widely used in tissue engineering. However, the fabrication of nanofibers into complex threeβdimensional (3D) structures is restricted due to current manufacturing techniques. To overcome this limitation, we have incorporated nanofibers ont
## Abstract The annulus fibrosus comprises concentric lamellae that can be damaged due to intervertebral disc degeneration; to provide permanent repair of these acquired structural defects, one solution is to fabricate scaffolds that are designed to support the growth of annulus fibrosus cells. In
## Abstract The architecture of an engineered tissue substitute plays an important role in modulating tissue growth. A novel poly(D,Lβlactideβ__co__βglycolide) (PLGA) structure with a unique architecture produced by an electrospinning process has been developed for tissueβengineering applications.
