Engineering of the skeletal muscles has attracted attention for the restoration of damaged muscles from myopathy, injury, and extraction of malignant tumors. Reconstructing a three-dimensional muscle using living cells could be a promising approach. However, the regenerated tissue exhibits a weak construction force due to the insufficient tissue maturation. The purpose of this study is to establish the reconstruction system for the skeletal muscle. We used a cell-laden core-shell hydrogel microfiber as a three-dimensional culture to control the cellular orientation. Moreover, to mature the muscle tissue in the microfiber, we also developed a custom-made culture device for imposing cyclic stretch stimulation using a motorized stage and the fiber-grab system. As a result, the directions of the myotubes were oriented and the mature myotubes could be formed by cyclic stretch stimulation.

This work investigates the effects of core–shell rubber (CSR) nanoparticles on the curing behaviour and thermo-mechanical properties of an epoxy using differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis approaches. Interaction between CSR nanoparticles and epoxy matrix is detected at a temperature of approximately 97°C in the curing process. This results in an increase in the glass transition temperature ( Tg) of the cured nanocomposites. Given the semi-dynamic curing schedule, the curing process of all the epoxy nanocomposites consists of an abrupt onset stage followed by a slow diffusion-controlled stage. Higher temperature is required to initiate the curing for the epoxy nanocomposites with higher loading of CSR nanoparticles. This is attributed to the physical changes caused by the addition of CSR nanoparticles, such as the increase in the viscosity and the reduction in the density of the reactive groups. The storage modulus of the epoxy decreases in the glassy region but remains constant in the rubbery region due to the incorporation of CSR nanoparticles.

Regenerative medicine is an emerging field that centers on the restoration and regeneration of functional components of damaged tissue. Tissue engineering is an application of regenerative medicine and seeks to create functional tissue components and whole organs. Using 3D printing technologies, native tissue mimics can be created utilizing biomaterials and living cells. Recently, regenerative medicine has begun to employ 3D bioprinting methods to create highly specialized tissue models to improve upon conventional tissue engineering methods. Here, we review the use of 3D bioprinting in the advancement of tissue engineering by describing the process of 3D bioprinting and its advantages over other tissue engineering methods. Materials and techniques in bioprinting are also reviewed, in addition to future clinical applications, challenges, and future directions of the field.
