Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Severe skeletal muscle injuries, including volumetric muscle loss (VML), lead to significant tissue damage, functional impairment, and disability.
  • The natural regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle is compromised in VML, necessitating advanced therapeutic strategies.
  • Current clinical treatments for VML have limitations, including tissue availability and donor-site complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of VML pathophysiology and critique existing treatments.
  • To outline criteria for designing effective tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds for skeletal muscle regeneration.
  • To review current TE strategies and identify challenges for clinical translation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pathophysiology of volumetric muscle loss (VML).
  • Critique of current clinical treatments for VML.
  • Analysis of criteria for tissue engineering scaffold design, including biomaterials and cell types.
  • Review of acellular and cellular scaffold strategies for skeletal muscle regeneration.

Main Results:

  • Existing VML treatments are limited by tissue availability and donor-site morbidity.
  • Tissue engineering scaffolds require specific design criteria for effective skeletal muscle regeneration.
  • Various natural and synthetic biomaterials, cell types, and TE strategies show potential for muscle repair.

Conclusions:

  • Tissue engineering holds significant promise for regenerating skeletal muscle tissue after VML.
  • Optimizing scaffold design, cell integration, vascularization, and innervation are key for successful TE interventions.
  • Overcoming technical challenges is crucial for translating TE strategies into clinical applications for VML treatment.
