Abstract excerpt
Therapeutic development for skeletal muscle diseases is challenged by a lack of ex vivo models that recapitulate human muscle physiology. Here, we engineered 3D human skeletal muscle tissue in the Biowire II platform that could be maintained and electrically stimulated long-term. Increasing differentiation time enhanced myotube formation, modulated myogenic gene expression, and increased twitch and tetanic...
