Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recently, methods for creating three-dimensional (3-D) human skeletal muscle tissues from myogenic cell lines have been reported. Bioengineered muscle tissues are contractile and respond to electrical and chemical stimulation. In this study, we provide an electrophysiological analysis of healthy and dystrophic 3-D bioengineered skeletal muscle tissues, focusing on Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We enlist the 3-D in vitro model of DMD muscle tissue to evaluate muscle cell electrical properties uncoupled from presynaptic neural inputs, an understudied aspect of DMD. Our data show that previously reported electrophysiological aspects of DMD, including effects on membrane potential and membrane resistance, are replicated in the 3-D muscle tissue model. Furthermore, we test a potential therapeutic compound, poloxamer 188, and demonstrate capacity for improving the membrane potential in DMD muscle. Therefore, this study serves as a baseline for a new in vitro method to examine potential therapies for muscular disorders.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
