Description
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is bulk loss of muscle tissue, which overwhelms the body’s capacity for muscle regeneration. The bioSKMR platform is used to create muscle-derived scaffolds, which, when implanted, uses the body’s own wound healing machinery to regenerate muscle. The bioSKMR perfuses freshly harvested muscle tissue with decellularization solution, which rapidly clears muscle of cellular debris and nucleic acids. Using this device, we can decellularize muscle without sacrificing the chemical or architectural properties of the muscle to create muscle scaffolds to treat VML.
