Tissue Engineered Scaffolds Combined with Exercise in the Treatment of Volumetric Muscle Loss in Rat Model

Academic Background Volumetric Muscle Loss (VML) is a severe muscle injury typically caused by trauma, ischemia, or tumor excision. VML leads to irreversible loss of muscle fibers, resulting in fibrosis, deformity, and long-term dysfunction. Unlike ordinary muscle injuries, VML has very limited regenerative capacity because the extent of damage exc...
