1. 3D cold-plate electrospun silk fibroin nanofibers
Colby Thomas

2. Need to Know Basic architecture of skin:
outer epidermis layer that contains keratinocytes
serves as a barrier to infection
dermis layer thick and contains fibroblasts and extracellular matrix mainly comprising collagen
provides a strength, flexibility and networks systems for body homeostasis.

3. What Is It? Three techniques for creating nanofiber materials:
self-assembly
phase separation
electrospinning
Three types:
traditional electrospinning (TE)
salt leaching electrospinning (SLE)
cold plate electrospinning

6. Why do we need CPE? Must be able to use biocompatible nanomaterials
High porosity without sacrificing stability
3D thick structure
Keep up with artificial skin and organ deficit demands

7. Future Outlook Can be used to treat skin deformities
Can help treat conditions such as diabetic stomach ulcers
Provides a new way to look at skin regeneration and further application
