    Abstract:

    Skin is the most vulnerable organ to different kinds of injuries due to its large surface and potential for exposure to biological, mechanical, thermal, and radiation factors. In this context, the demand for innovative biomaterials for chronic wounds, skin burns, or skin disease treatment is high [1].
    Collagen is a consecrated biomaterial for different skin wound healing formulations like powders, creams, films, hydrogels, and microspheres, due to high biocompatibility and non-toxicity as compared to synthesis polymers [2]. Recent research reported the advanced efficiency of gelatin and collagen hydrolysate in wound healing as compared to native collagen [1], due to the more available peptides and binding sites for the regeneration mechanism in the wound healing process.
    The presentation will explore the potential of gelatins of different origins extracted from bovine and donkey hides, rabbit skin or fish scales to be processes as collagen nanofibers with preserved bioactivity and high efficiency in skin restoration due to the scaffold structure with increased surface area-to-volume ratio as compared to gelatin [3-7].
    The main properties of these gelatins such as dry substance, ash and protein content, conductivity, viscosity, and molecular weight will be presented in connection to spinnable properties in view of manufacturing collagen nanofibers for new biomaterials used in wound healing.
    The electrospinning parameters for fabrication of wound healing mats based on gelatins of different origins will be presented and the influence of solvents will be highlighted. The antimicrobial properties were improved by adding active substances from essential oils to metal and oxide nanoparticles. Coaxial electrospinning was used for volatile essential oils encapsulation and slow release in interaction with skin wounds.
    The properties of collagen nanofibers manufactured from different gelatins will be presented in connection with their specific structure and origin: size dimension and morphology (SEM), surface composition (EDX), antioxidant properties, phenol releasing, cytotoxic concentrations, in vivo biocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties.
    Finally, the behavior of gelatin nanofibers as compared to gelatins to preservation treatments by different gamma radiation doses will be discussed.
    Different gelatin nanofibers successfully fabricated from different raw materials showed the huge potential for biomaterials innovation as compared to the use of classical native collagen in skin wound healing.
