Muscle acellular scaffold as a biomaterial: effects on C2C12 cell differentiation andinteraction with the murine host environment

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of decellularized organs possesses the characteristics of the idealtissue-engineering scaffold (i.e. histocompatibility, porosity, degradability, non-toxicity). Wepreviously observed that the muscle acellular scaffold (MAS) is a pro-myogenic environment invivo. In orde...
