- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Scientists have developed a specially formulated bioink, which contains microparticles engineered for sustained delivery of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This delivery enhances the formation ...

Cell sheets are guided to form anchored, scaffold-free constructs for in vitro modeling by providing pillars that act as anchors for otherwise anchorless cell sheets. Credit: Advanced Functional ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

Skeletal muscle tissue can self-repair minor injuries, but significant muscle loss leads to non-functional scar tissue. Current treatments mainly involve autologous muscle transfer. Tissue engineering ...

Sometimes nature provides the best blueprints for building effective robots. It also can provide the best material. Billions of years of natural selection has built some pretty impressive machinery, ...

This review innovatively proposes the use of electrospinning to fabricate electroactive fibrous scaffolds, which mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix while providing electrical activity, ...
