Besides the evident need to create functional skeletal muscle tissue for the repair of volumetric muscle defects, there is also growing demand for platforms to study muscle-related diseases, such as muscular dystrophies or sarcopenia. Currently, numerous studies exist that have employed a variety of biomaterials, cell types and strategies for maturation of skeletal muscle tissue in 2D and 3D environments. However, researchers are just at the beginning of understanding the impact of different culture settings and their biochemical (growth factors and chemical changes) and biophysical cues (mechanical properties) on myogenesis. With this review we intend to emphasize the need for new in vitro skeletal muscle (disease) models to better recapitulate important structural and functional aspects of muscle development. We highlight the importance of choosing appropriate system components, e.g., cell and biomaterial type, structural and mechanical matrix properties or culture format, and how understanding their interplay will enable researchers to create optimized platforms to investigate myogenesis in healthy and diseased tissue. Thus, we aim to deliver guidelines for experimental designs to allow estimation of the potential influence of the selected skeletal muscle tissue engineering setup on the myogenic outcome prior to their implementation. Moreover, we offer a workflow to facilitate identifying and selecting different analytical tools to demonstrate the successful creation of functional skeletal muscle tissue. Ultimately, a refinement of existing strategies will lead to further progression in understanding important aspects of muscle diseases, muscle aging and muscle regeneration to improve quality of life of patients and enable the establishment of new treatment options.}, subject = {Bioreactor}, language = {en} } @misc{SalzerRiederMonforteVilaetal., author = {Salzer, Elias and Rieder, Bernhard and Monforte Vila, Xavier and Weihs, Anna and R{\"u}nzler, Dominik and Teuschl, Andreas}, title = {Evaluation of a novel hydrostatic pressure bioreactor on bovine cartilage chips}, subject = {Bioreactor}, language = {en} } @article{HeherMaleinerPruelleretal., author = {Heher, Philipp and Maleiner, Babette and Pr{\"u}ller, Johanna and Teuschl, Andreas and Kollmitzer, Josef and Monforte Vila, Xavier and Wolbank, Susanne and Redl, Heinz and R{\"u}nzler, Dominik and Fuchs, Christiane}, title = {A novel bioreactor for the generation of highly aligned 3D skeletal muscle-like constructs through orientation of fibrin via application of static strain}, series = {Acta Biomaterialia}, journal = {Acta Biomaterialia}, subject = {Bioreactor}, language = {en} } @misc{HeherFuchsPruelleretal., author = {Heher, Philipp and Fuchs, Christiane and Pr{\"u}ller, Johanna and Babette, Maleiner and R{\"u}nzler, Dominik and Redl, Heinz}, title = {A novel bioreactor for engineering skeletal muscle-like tissue in a strained fibrin scaffold}, subject = {Bioreactor}, language = {en} } @misc{HromadaTomaschWeihsetal., author = {Hromada, Carina and Tomasch, Janine and Weihs, Anna and R{\"u}nzler, Dominik and Teuschl, Andreas}, title = {Engineering of 3D Tissue Constructs Using our Novel MagneTissue Bioreactor as Alternatives to Animal Models}, subject = {Bioreactor}, language = {en} } @article{RiederWeihsWeidingeretal., author = {Rieder, Bernhard and Weihs, Anna and Weidinger, Adelheid and Sczwarc, Dorota and N{\"u}rnberger, Sylvia and Redl, Heinz and R{\"u}nzler, Dominik and Huber-Gries, Carina and Teuschl, Andreas}, title = {Hydrostatic pressure-generated reactive oxygen species induce osteoarthritic conditions in cartilage pellet cultures}, series = {Scientific Reports}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, subject = {Bioreactor}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KneblMortonRedletal., author = {Knebl, Gerald and Morton, Tatjana J. and Redl, Heinz and R{\"u}nzler, Dominik}, title = {Mechanical stimulation of cells in 3-dimensional fibrin constructs using a bioreactor}, series = {3.
