Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to develop and improve 3D engineered muscle tissue models for studying aging-related muscle loss (sarcopenia).
Description
This project aims to advance the translational application of naturally aged 3D engineered muscle tissue models to better understand sarcopenia, focusing on extracellular factors and co-culture conditions to mimic muscle aging.
