TEMR–ADSC construct-repaired LD muscles display structural and functional hallmarks reminiscent of native muscles.

Notes: LD muscles repaired with TEMR–ADSC constructs were retrieved 2 months postimplantation and analyzed for morphology and new tissue formation by IHC staining on paraffin-embedded histological sections. IHC staining demonstrated positivity for structural proteins, myosin heavy chain (MF20; A) and titin (9D10; B). Similarly IHC staining revealed the presence of functional proteins, Junctophilin (Jp1; C) and ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1; D).

Abbreviations: TEMR, tissue-engineered muscle repair; ADSC, adipose-derived stem cell; LD, latissimus dorsi; IHC, immunohistochemistry.
