Engineering bioscaffolds for improved cutaneous tissue regeneration remains a healthcare challenge because of the increasing number of patients suffering from acute and chronic wounds. To help address this problem, we propose to utilize alfalfa, an ancient medicinal plant that contains antibacterial/oxygenating chlorophylls and bioactive phytoestrogens, as a building block for regenerative wound dressings. Alfalfa carries genistein, which is a major phytoestrogen known to accelerate skin repair. The scaffolds presented herein were built from composite alfalfa and polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers with hydrophilic surface and mechanical stiffness that recapitulate the physiological microenvironments of skin. This composite scaffold was engineered to have aligned nanofibrous architecture to accelerate directional cell migration. As a result, alfalfa-based composite nanofibers were found to enhance the cellular proliferation of dermal fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes in vitro. Finally, these nanofibers exhibited reproducible regenerative functionality by promoting re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation in both mouse and human skin, without requiring additional proteins, growth factors, or cells. Overall, these findings demonstrate the potential of alfalfa-based nanofibers as a regenerative platform toward accelerating cutaneous tissue repair.
