Silk fibroin scaffolds with muscle-like elasticity support in vitro differentiation of human skeletal muscle cells

Human adult skeletal muscle has a limited ability to regenerate after injury and therapeutic options for volumetric muscle loss are few. Technologies to enhance regeneration of tissues generally rely upon bioscaffolds to mimic aspects of the tissue extracellular matrix (ECM). In the present study, s...
