Abstract: Engineering functional skeletal muscle tissue is an ongoing challenge because of the complexity of the in vivo microenvironment and the various factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of the native tissue. However, the growing understanding of the natural skeletal muscle's microenvironment in vivo, as well as the ability to successfully reproduce these factors in vitro, are contributing to the formation of engineered skeletal muscle tissues (SMTs) with greater biomimetic structure and function. This review first summarizes the structure of skeletal muscle tissue. The role of various hydrogels, biomaterials, and scaffolds as building blocks of complex skeletal muscle structures is then explored. Additionally, the role of external stimuli and regulators that can be applied during in vitro culture that lead to the formation of SMT models with higher functionality is examined. These include various physical, biochemical, electrical, mechanical, and magnetic stimulations, as well as biological stimulation through coculture with fibroblasts, endothelial, or neuronal cells. Finally, examples of recently developed functional tissue models that have been developed for in vitro and in vivo applications and the future outlook for this field are discussed.

Specificity of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling: Transient versus sustained extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation
TL;DR: Experiments with PC12 cells suggest that the duration of ERK activation is critical for cell signaling decisions, and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK-regulated) MAPK pathway may be sufficient for these cellular responses.
