The in vitro engineering of craniofacial muscle constructs utilising degradable composite glass fibre-collagen scaffolds
Absent or defective craniofacial skeletal muscle can lead to loss of function and aesthetics. Current therapies are fraught with limitations: for example, the surgical transfer of tissue is associated with donor site morbidity coupled with a paucity of available tissue. The potential to engineer ske...
