  • System and method for forming skeletal muscle constructs having functional tissue interfaces
    Patent number: 8097455
    Abstract: A system and method for forming a skeletal muscle construct include primary muscle cells provided on a substrate without disposing the cells within an exogenous scaffold, the cells cultured in vitro such that the cells form a confluent monolayer; at least two anchors secured to the monolayer in spaced relationship; and at least one secondary tissue, such as neural or tendon tissue, provided in contact with the monolayer such that the monolayer detaches from the substrate and self-organizes to at least partially surround the at least one secondary tissue, thereby forming a three-dimensional skeletal muscle construct having a functional interface with the secondary tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 4, 2008
    Date of Patent: January 17, 2012
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of Michigan
    Inventors: Lisa M. Larkin, Ellen M. Arruda, Sarah Calve, Tatiana Y. Kostriminova
