Abstract
An engineered muscular mimetic (EMM) was synthesized, and its overall structure—porosity, average pore size, and pore alignment—was characterized and compared to actual decellularized skeletal muscle (DSM). The EMM’s porosity was about 20% more and average pore size was about 85% smaller compared to that of the DSM. Unlike the strong horizontal pore alignment in the DSM, no distinct orientation could be identified in the EMM structure.
