Development and characterisation of 3D skeletal muscle constructs under defined mechanical regulation

It has been shown that the IGF-I gene is spliced in response to mechanical signals producing forms of IGF-I which have different actions. To study the roles of environmental mechanical cues on gene programming and splicing in developing muscle, an in vitro 3D cell culture system was employed. C2C12...
