Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a kind of connective tissue in the cell microenvironment, which
is of great significance to tissue development. ECM in muscle fiber niche consists of three …

Skeletal muscle represents the largest body-composition component in humans. In addition
to its primary function in the maintenance of upright posture and the production of …

Despite a massive body of knowledge which has been produced related to the mechanisms
guiding muscle regeneration, great interest still moves the scientific community toward the …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an interconnected macromolecular scaffold occupying the
space between cells. Amongst other functions, the ECM provides structural support to …

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) isoforms are cytokines involved in a variety of
cellular processes, including myofiber repair and regulation of connective tissue formation …

The muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) forms a complex network of collagens, proteoglycans,
and other proteins that produce a favorable environment for muscle regeneration, protect the …

Skeletal muscle contractures represent the permanent shortening of a muscle-tendon unit,
resulting in loss of elasticity and, in extreme cases, joint deformation. They may result from …

The production of force and power are inherent properties of skeletal muscle, and regulated
by contractile proteins within muscle fibers. However, skeletal muscle integrity and function …

This work reports the rational design and fabrication of magneto‐active microfiber meshes
with controlled hexagonal microstructures via melt electrowriting (MEW) of a magnetized …

Key points The amount of fibrotic material in dystrophic mouse muscles relates to contractile
function, but not passive function. Collagen fibres in skeletal muscle are associated with …
