Electrohydrodynamic Bioprinting Creates Living Muscle Tissues with Tightly Aligned Cells Inside

Electrohydrodynamic bioprinting creates living muscle tissues with tightly aligned cells inside

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells.

Bioprinting Muscle with Perfect Cell Alignment, Mirroring Human Tissue

In a groundbreaking stride for regenerative medicine, researchers at Xi’an Jiaotong University have unveiled a revolutionary technique that harnesses electrohydrodynamic (EHD) bioprinting to produce living skeletal muscle tissues with unprecedented cellular alignment. This innovation promises to bridge a critical gap that has long stymied tissue engineering: replicating the intricate internal structure of real muscle, where myofibers are meticul…
