Using Mechanical Strain as a Vehicle to Direct Fibroblasts-Mediated Myoblast Differentiation and Myotube Function

Using Mechanical Strain as a Vehicle to Direct Fibroblasts-Mediated Myoblast Differentiation and Myotube Function

abstract: Skeletal muscle injury may occur from repetitive short bursts of biomechanical strain that impair muscle function. Alternatively, variations of biomechanical strain such as those held for long-duration are used by clinicians to repair muscle and restore its function. Fibroblasts embedded w...
