Abstract

See full text

A muscle implant includes an extracellular matrix, tendon and muscle cells. The extracellular matrix is made of a matrix of electrospun polymer fibers. The tendon is made of extruded collagen fibers and the muscle cells are disposed on the extracellular matrix in such a manner that the combination of components will functionally and structurally act as normal muscle tissue. Cardiac and smooth muscles may be similarly formed without tendons but including the extracellular matrix and muscle cells.
