Description:: We rely on the properties of our skeletal muscles to traverse our world, interact with objects, and complete everyday tasks. The macroscopic properties of muscles that endow us with these abilities arise from the material properties of muscle fibers and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), as well as how they...

Description:: Biomaterials have immense potential for studying fundamental biological processes and developing therapies to help regenerate or replace the structure and function of injured tissues. In order to accomplish this, they need to be designed to mimic the structure and function of Nature’s most important material, the extracellular matrix (ECM) surrounding...
