Engineering of Human Skeletal Muscle With an Autologous Deposited Extracellular Matrix

Engineering of Human Skeletal Muscle With an Autologous Deposited Extracellular Matrix

Adult skeletal muscle progenitor cells can be embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissue-engineered to form bio-artificial muscles (BAMs), composed of aligned post-mitotic myofibers. The ECM proteins which have been used most commonly are collagen type I and fibrin. Fibrin allows for in vi...
