Abstract excerpt
Satellite cells derived from fast and slow muscles have been shown to adopt contractile and metabolic properties of their parent muscle. Mouse muscle shows less distinctive fiber-type profiles than rat or rabbit muscle. Therefore, in this study we sought to determine whether three-dimensional muscle constructs engineered from slow soleus (SOL) and fast tibialis anterior (TA) from mice would adopt the contractile...
