Modelling in vivo skeletal muscle ageing in vitro using three‐dimensional bioengineered constructs
8 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Degeneration of skeletal muscle (SkM) with age (sarcopenia) is a major contributor to functional decline, morbidity and mortality. Methodological implications often make it difficult to embark on interventions in already frail and diseased elderly individuals. Using in vitro three-dimensional (3D) bioengineered skeletal muscle constructs that model aged phenotypes and incorporate a representative extracellular...
