In vitro and in vivo evaluation of acellular diaphragmatic matrices seeded with muscle precursors cells and coated with VEGF silica gels to repair muscle defect of the diaphragm.

TL;DR: Results confirmed that the matrices contained biologically active angiogenic factors which were per se sufficient to induce neo-vessels formation, thus allowing the survival of implanted myoblasts, as well as demonstrating that the silica support was nontoxic and the VEGF bioactivity was maintained after matrix entrapment.

Myoblast-acellular skeletal muscle matrix constructs guarantee a long-term repair of experimental full-thickness abdominal wall defects.

TL;DR: It is concluded that cell-matrix constructs could represent a promising approach to the repair of muscle defects, because they are repopulated in vivo by skeletal muscle cells and nervous elements and maintain their structural integrity over the long term.
