| Simple Way to Grow Muscle Tissue With Real Muscle Structure
|
| ScienceDaily (Aug. 26, 2011) — Researchers at Eindhoven University
| of Technology (TU/e) have found a simple way to grow muscle tissue
| with real muscle structure in the laboratory. They found that the
| muscle cells automatically align themselves if they are subjected
| to tension in one direction -- this is essential for the ability of
| the muscle cells to exert a force. The endothelial (blood vessel)
| cells in the culture also automatically grouped themselves to form
| new blood vessels. This finding is a step forward towards the
| engineering of thicker muscle tissue that can for example be
| implanted in restoration operations.
|
| The results were published in the scientific journal Tissue Engineering
| Part A.
