Abstract

Skeletal muscle is contractile tissue and it is consisted of multiple bundles of myofibers (cells), which are long and multinucleated contractile cells. Each muscles and the myofibers are connected with various extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. To investigate the adequate ECM components for muscle tissue generation, we designed 3D in vitro model with myogenic progenitor cells (myoblasts) and 7 case of hydrogel ECM compositions. The degree of tissue formation and the differentiation of cells were different in each hydrogel ECM cases. In the mixtures of collagen type I and Matrigel, the differentiation and the formation of muscle tissue were more induced.
