Of the various cell types being investigated for this purpose, skeletal myoblasts are an attractive option, because they are readily available from muscle biopsies and, if autologous cells are ...

Titin’s regulated integration and mobility after cell fusion support syncytium formation in culture, while limited diffusion in vivo highlights a key challenge for developing effective cell-based ...

Unfortunately, myoblasts, which are precursors to skeletal muscle cells, grow in random directions when cultured using conventional techniques. This limits the potential of myoblast cell sheets ...

Using a simple yet effective technique, researchers from Doshisha University could harness ultrasound vibrations generated by a piezoelectric transducer to control the orientation of cultured ...

This is especially important in skeletal muscle fibers, which need to be aligned in a single direction. Unfortunately, myoblasts, which are precursors to skeletal muscle cells, grow in random ...
