Electrospun nanofibrous materials have been developed for use as scaffolds for regenerating engineered cardiac tissues. On page 5726, Xiaohui Zhang, Feng Xu, and co‐workers present an overview of the design strategies for controlling the chemical, structural, and biological properties of electrospun scaffolds, and the performance of advanced electrospun scaffolds for promoting the functionalities of cardiac tissues. Electrospun scaffolds are demonstrated to hold great potential for cardiac tissue engineering applications.
