Skeletal muscle tissue engineering: strategies for volumetric constructs
Skeletal muscle tissue is characterized by high metabolic requirements, defined structure and high regenerative potential. As such, it constitutes an appealing platform for tissue engineering to address volumetric defects, as proven by recent works in this field. Several issues common to all engineered constructs constrain the variety of tissues that can be realized in vitro, principal among th...
متن کاملAutologous minced muscle grafts: a tissue engineering therapy for the volumetric loss of skeletal muscle.
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) results in a large void deficient in the requisite materials for regeneration for which there is no definitive clinical standard of care. Autologous minced muscle grafts (MG), which contain the essential components for muscle regeneration, may embody an ideal tissue engineering therapy for VML. The purpose of this study was to determine if orthotopic transplantation...
متن کاملGrowth Factors for Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering.
Tissue-engineered skeletal muscle holds promise as a source of graft tissue for repair of volumetric muscle loss and as a model system for pharmaceutical testing. To reach this potential, engineered tissues must advance past the neonatal phenotype that characterizes the current state of the art. In this review, we describe native skeletal muscle development and identify important growth factors...
متن کاملTissue engineering for skeletal muscle regeneration.
Stem cells and regenerative medicine have obtained a remarkable consent from the scientific community for their promising ability to recover aged, injured and diseased tissue. However, despite the noteworthy potential, hurdles currently hinder their use and clinical application: cell survival, immune response, tissue engraftment and efficient differentiation. Hence a new interdisciplinary scien...
متن کاملTissue Engineered Strategies for Skeletal Muscle Injury
Skeletal muscle injuries are common in athletes, occurring with direct and indirect mechanisms and marked residual effects, such as severe long-term pain and physical disability. Current therapy consists of conservative management including RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression and elevation), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and intramuscular corticosteroids. However, current management o...
