Abstract
Provided herein are implantable biomaterials for promoting regeneration of an injured biological tissue, the biomaterials including piezoelectric materials and an extracellular matrix specific to the injured biological tissue, wherein the piezoelectric materials and the extracellular matrix are electrospun together to provide tissue-specific bioactive piezoelectric nanofiber scaffolds. Also provided herein are methods of fabricating a tissue-specific bioactive piezoelectric nanofiber scaffold and methods of promoting regeneration of injured biological tissue by implanting the disclosed bioactive piezoelectric scaffolds.
