Long-Term Evaluation of Functional Outcomes Following Rat Volumetric Muscle Loss Injury and Repair.
Ellen L. Mintz,Juliana A. Passipieri,Isabelle R Franklin,Victoria M Toscano,Emma C Afferton,Poonam Sharma,George J. Christ +6 more
TL;DR: The importance of "tuning" the application of tissue engineering technology platforms to the specific requirements of diverse VML injuries in order to improve functional outcomes is emphasized.

Semisynthetic Hyaluronic Acid-Based Hydrogel Promotes Recovery of the Injured Tibialis Anterior Skeletal Muscle Form and Function.
Jack Dienes,Shane Browne,Bruna Farjun,Juliana A. Passipieri,Ellen L. Mintz,Grant Killian,Kevin E. Healy,George J. Christ +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a semisynthetic hyaluronic acid-based (HyA) hydrogel that embodies material features more favorable for robust muscle regeneration was evaluated. And the results showed robust functional recovery, accompanied by volume reconstitution, muscle regeneration, and native-like vascularization following implantation of the HyA-based hydrogels at the site of injury.

Applications of In Vivo Functional Testing of the Rat Tibialis Anterior for Evaluating Tissue Engineered Skeletal Muscle Repair.
TL;DR: A commercial muscle lever system is used, in conjunction with a high power, bi-phase stimulator, to measure in vivo force production in response to activation of the anterior crural compartment of the rat hindlimb and can be easily applied to study diverse aspects of muscle physiology and pathophysiology.
Bioprinting on sheet-based scaffolds applied to the creation of implantable tissue-engineered constructs with potentially diverse clinical applications: Tissue-Engineered Muscle Repair (TEMR) as a representative testbed.
R. K. Bour,Poonam Sharma,J. S. Turner,W. E. Hess,Ellen L. Mintz,C. R. Latvis,B. R. Shepherd,S. C. Presnell,M. J. McConnell,C. Highley,Shayn M. Peirce,George J. Christ +11 more
TL;DR: This report explores the overlooked potential of bioprinting to automate biomanufacturing of simple tissue structures, such as the uniform deposition of (mono)layers of progenitor cells on sheetlike decellularized extracellular matrices (dECM).
