Volumetric muscle loss (VML), which involves the loss of a substantial portion of muscle
tissue, is one of the most serious acute skeletal muscle injuries in the military and civilian …

There is a growing need to develop novel well-characterized biological inks (bioinks) that
are customizable for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of specific tissue types. Gelatin …

LAMA2-related congenital muscular dystrophy, also known as MDC1A, is caused by loss-of-
function mutations in the alpha2 chain of Laminin-211. Loss of this protein interrupts the …

Stem cell responsiveness to extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and mechanical cues
has been the subject of a number of investigations so far, yet the molecular mechanisms …

While skeletal muscle has a high capacity for endogenous repair in acute injuries,
volumetric muscle loss can leave long-lasting or permanent structural and functional deficits …

Cellular dynamics are modeled by the 3D architecture and mechanics of the extracellular
matrix (ECM) and vice versa. These bidirectional cell‐ECM interactions are the basis for all …

Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β) is involved in fibrosis as well as the regulation of
muscle mass, and contributes to the progressive pathology of muscle wasting disorders …

Engineered in vitro models of skeletal muscle are essential for efficiently screening drug
safety and efficacy. However, conventional culture substrates poorly replicate physical …

Engineering skeletal muscle tissue in vitro is important to study the mechanism of
myogenesis, which is crucial for regenerating muscle cells. The physicochemical properties …

Among polymers, polyaniline (PANi) has been introduced as a good candidate for muscle
regeneration due to high conductivity and also biocompatibility. Herein, for the first time, we …
