Abstract
A scaffold comprising an aligned fiber. Further, a scaffold comprising one or more electrospun fibers wherein a fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis result of the fibers have adjacent major peaks with about 180° apart from each other. Also, methods for promoting differentiation of stem cells into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, ligament or tendon, the method comprising culturing the cells on the scaffold or aligned fiber in conditions suitable for the cell differentiation.

A method of treating a tissue defect comprising applying a scaffold comprising one or more electrospun fibers, wherein a fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis result of the fibers have adjacent major peaks with about 180° apart from each other, and wherein the scaffold is in a form of one or more elongated sheets, to surround the tissue defect.
A method of treating a tissue defect or gap comprising applying a scaffold comprising one or more electrospun fibers, wherein a fastlourier transform (FFT) analysis result of the fibers have adjacent major peaks with about 180° apart from each other, and wherein the scaffold is in the form of one or more elongated rolls, between the tissue defect or gap.
A method of cell culture comprising culturing cells on a scaffold comprising one or more electrospun fibers, wherein a fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis result of the fibers have adjacent major peaks with about 180° apart from each other in conditions suitable for the cell culture.
A method of promoting differentiation of stem cells into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, ligament or tendon, the method comprising culturing the cells on a scaffold comprising one or more electrospun fibers, wherein a fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis result of the fibers have adjacent major peaks with about 180° apart from each other in conditions suitable for the cell differentiation,
