Development of a Biomimetic In Vitro Skeletal Muscle Tissue Model

Many congenital skeletal muscle disorders including muscular dystrophies are caused by genetic mutations that lead to a dysfunction in myocytes effectively binding to the extracellular matrix. This leads to a chronic and continuous cycle of breakdown and regeneration of muscle tissue, ultimately res...
