Decellularized skeletal muscle: A versatile biomaterial in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine KU Leuven
A wide range of synthetic and natural biomaterials is available for skeletal muscle tissue engineering. One class of natural biomaterials consists of the extracellular matrix (ECM) from donor skeletal muscle. To obtain this ECM, the cellular compartment must be completely removed while retaining the native composition and ultrastructure of the tissue as much as possible. In this review, the progress and challenges in the field of skeletal muscle ...
