Matrix-mediated formation & innervation of skeletal myotubes
… matrices for the formation and innervation of skeletal muscle. This thesis discusses the development of advanced bioactive matrices to be able to study the role of a variety of extracellular matrix properties on skeletal muscle formation and, ultimately, innervation. The role of polysaccharide …

Aorta-derived mesoangioblasts for cell therapy of cardiomyopathy in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
… to adipocytes, smooth muscle cells, skeletal myotubes, oligodendrocyte precursors, and cardiomyocytes, indicating that they can be used for regeneration in severe disease in which multiple tissues are affected. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal muscle-wasting disease, and …

Neuron-Glial (NG) Interactions: A Microfluidic Examination of NG Emergent Responses for Repair
… to demonstrate reproducible differentiation of skeletal myotubes with increased viability and length following the time-dependent addition of neuronal and glial cells. We lastly probed the guidance cues and migratory patterns of NGs towards various growth factors to elucidate emergent NMJ …

Detailed Characterization of Structure-Activity Relationships in the Human Adiponectin Molecule
… its physiological assembly. Functional assays in skeletal muscle showed the recombinant adiponectin to be bioactive, and therefore appropriate for more detailed analysis of structure-activity relationships. Several sialyl- and O-linked glycosyl-modifications were identified in recombinant human …
