Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies have been brought forward as a promising treatment modality for cutaneous wound healing. However, current approaches for stem cell delivery have many drawbacks, such as lack of targetability and cell loss, leading to poor efficacy of stem cell therapy. To overcome these problems, in the present study, an in situ cell electrospinning system is developed as an attractive approach for stem cell delivery. MSCs have a high cell viability of over 90% even with a high applied voltage of 15 kV post‐cell electrospinning process. In addition, cell electrospinning does not show any negative effect on the surface marker expression and differentiation capacity of MSCs. In vivo studies demonstrate that in situ cell electrospinning treatment can promote cutaneous wound healing through direct deposition of bioactive fish gelatin fibers and MSCs onto wound sites, leading to a synergic therapeutic effect. The approach enhances extracellular matrix remodeling by increasing collagen deposition, promotes angiogenesis by increasing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and forming small blood vessels, and dramatically reduces the expression of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) during wound healing. The use of in situ cell electrospinning system potentially provides a rapid, no touch, personalized treatment for cutaneous wound healing.
