Improved Tissue Culture Conditions for Engineered Skeletal Muscle Sheets
Figure 4
Morphology of muscle tissue sheets. (a) Live culture images from tissue sheets with varying α7+ concentration (100, 50, 90%) in either control media (top panel) or fCM (middle panel). Enlarged representative sections from 90% α7+ tissue sheets cultured in (b) control media and (c) fCM demonstrate that the myofibers in fCM are longer and thicker.
