Electrosprays and electrospinning are two interrelated physical phenomena which have been investigated for well over a century. Their similarity is based upon the primary driving mechanism; namely, the applied electric field. However, they have a fundamental difference that distinguishes one from the other: the former generates droplets while the latter forms continuous fibres. These two processing routes have been extensively researched in many areas. Within the realm of life sciences, these routes have ranged from novel bioanalytical approaches (DNA and biomolecules) to tissue engineering by the formation of scaffolds, which mimic extracellular matrices. Only lately have these methods been explored for the direct process handling of living cells…
