Measuring the Maximum Power of an Engineered Muscle Tissue With Isovelocity Shortening Technique.

The final aim of muscle tissue engineering (TE) is to create a new tissue able to restore the functionality of impaired muscles once transplanted in the site of injury. Therefore, functional contractile properties close to that of healthy muscles are desirable to allow for a good compatibility and a proper functional contribution. Since skeletal muscles deal with locomotion during their normal act...
