Hypertrophic scar (HS) is the manifestation of pathological wound healing, which affects the beauty of patients, and even affects the normal physical functions of patients. We aimed to develop a 3D printing layer membranous nanofiber scaffold similar to skin structure. Among them, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) copolymer (PLGA) nanofibers were used as the "epidermis" layer above, and a decellular dermis matrix (dECM) nanofiber scaffold was used as the "dermis" layer below. In vitro, experimental results showed that PLGA and dECM nanofiber scaffolds had good biocompatibility. In vivo experiments showed that BLM nanofiber scaffolds could inhibit collagen fiber deposition and angiogenesis, to inhibit the formation of hypertrophic scars. This study shows a simple and effective method for preventing and inhibiting the formation of hypertrophic scars.
