Description
Growing replacement muscle in the lab needs scaffolds that are both strong and welcoming to cells. Carmen Granados-Carrera and co-authors describe a printing platform in 2026 that combines three parts. A stiff plastic frame gives support, and a gelatin filler later washes away. Collagen inks carry rat muscle cells into place. They varied the frame design, the gelatin strength, and the ink recipe.
All inks flowed well for printing and held their shape under moving culture conditions. Inks built from natural tissue matrix gave the most open, connected pores and the best cell survival, though differences were not statistically firm. The authors present the platform as a flexible route toward working muscle constructs that could one day aid repair.
