Our PhD student Lys Sprenger has made an exciting breakthrough in the biofabrication of skeletal muscle tissue with highly aligned myofibers. She discovered that a composite bioink of oxidized alginate (ADA) and gelatin (GEL) containing ribbon-shaped fillers is crucial for the biofabrication of skeletal muscle tissue with highly aligned myofibers. By varying the concentration of CaCl2, she was able to optimize the crosslinking properties of the composite, resulting in the highest myogenesis capacity for muscle cells.
This achievement was made possible through the close collaboration of projects B03, A08, and B07.
