Abstract

A one-day workshop with the title "Electrospinning Technology Application in Reproductive Sciences" was held on May 12, 2025, at the initiative of the Stem Cell Biology Research Center, which is based in the Yazd Reproductive Sciences Institute at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd, Iran. The purpose of this report is to provide a concise summary of the workshop. During this workshop, participants were given an introduction to the subject of tissue engineering, as well as an explanation of the significance of this field in relation to the reproductive system. Additionally, participants formulated solutions with suitable concentrations of chitosan and polycaprolactone and fabricated nanofiber scaffolds utilizing an electrospinning apparatus. Then, methods for sterilizing and crosslinking nanofiber scaffolds for use in in vitro and in vivo studies are detailed here. Also, they acquired information on how to utilize the ImageJ software to determine the diameter of the generated nanofibers.
