Neural cell integration into 3D bioprinted skeletal muscle constructs accelerates restoration of muscle function

3D bioprinting of skeletal muscle using primary human muscle progenitor cells results in correct muscle architecture, but functional restoration in rodent models is limited. Here the authors include human neural stem cells into bioprinted skeletal muscle and observe improved architecture and functio...
