One
Of A
Muscle’s
The Most
Important
Force & Excursion
❑ The Relationship Between Structure & Function In Skeletal Muscle
Has Been Described & Probed For More Than A Century.
❑ A Classic Study Has Elucidated The Microscopic & Ultrastructural
Properties Of Skeletal Muscle Fibers, Yielding Great Insights Into
Their Function.
❑ However, Less Attention Has Been Given To Excellent & Insightful
Studies Of The Macroscopic Properties Of Skeletal Muscle Tissues
Dating Back To The 1600s.
❑ This Macroscopic Arrangement Of Muscle Fibers Is Known As A
.
7. ARCHITECTURE
❑ The Musculoskeletal System
(Locomotor
System) Is A
Human Body System That Provides Our Body With
MUSCULAR SYSTEM
Includes All Types Of Muscles
In The Body.
Movement, Stability, Shape & Support.
❑ It Is Subdivided Into 2 Broad Systems:
Skeletal Muscles: The Ones That Act On The
SKELETAL SYSTEM
Whose Main Component Is
The Bone.
Body Joints To Produce Movements.
The Tendons: Which Attach The Muscles To
The Bones.
Bones Articulate With Each Other & Form
The Joints, Providing Our Bodies With A Hard
Core, Yet Mobile, Skeleton.
8. ARCHITECTURE
❑ The Integrity & Function Of The Bones & Joints Are
Supported By The Accessory Structures Of The
Skeletal System; Articular Cartilage, Ligaments &
Bursae.
❑ Besides Its Main Function To Provide The Body With
Stability & Mobility, The Musculoskeletal System
Has Many Other Functions; The Skeletal Part
Plays An Important Role In Other Homeostatic
Functions Such As Storage Of Minerals (E.G.,
Calcium) & Hematopoiesis, While The Muscular
System Stores Most Of The Body’s Carbohydrates
In The Form Of Glycogen.
9. MECHANISM
❑ The Nervous System Controls Voluntary Muscle
Movements.
❑ Voluntary Muscles Are Ones You
Control Intentionally.
❑ Some Involve Large Muscle Groups To
Do Activities Like Jumping.
❑ Others Use Smaller Movements, Like Pushing A
Button.
10. MECHANISM: WHEN MOVEMENTS HAPPEN
Nervous System (Brain & Nerves) Sends A Message To
Activate Skeletal (Voluntary) Muscles.
V
Muscle Fibers Contract (Tense Up) In Response
To The Message.
V
When The Muscle Activates Or Bunches Up,
It Pulls On The Tendon.
V
Tendons Attach Muscles To Bones.
V
The Tendon Pulls The Bone, Making It Move.
11. MECHANISM: WHEN MOVEMENTS HAPPEN
To Relax The Muscle, Nervous System Sends
Another Message.
V
It Triggers The Muscles To Relax Or
Deactivate.
V
The Relaxed Muscle Releases Tension,
Moving The Bone To A Resting
Position.
12. MECHANISM
❑ Many Conditions Can Cause Problems With The Musculoskeletal
System.
❑ They Can Affect The Way You Move, Speak & Interact With The
World.
❑ Some Of The Most Common Causes Of Musculoskeletal Pain &
Movement Problems Are:
➢ Aging.
➢ Arthritis. [Common]
➢ Back Problems.
➢ Cancer.
➢ Congenital Abnormalities.
➢ Injuries.
➢ Osteoporosis. [Common]
➢ Muscular Dystrophy.
❑ Most People Recover From These Disorders Without Long Term
Health Problems.
14. BIO-ENGINEERING SOLUTION

Muscle
Constructs First Developed More Than 25 Years Ago
Involves Casting Myogenic Cells
Cylindrically Shaped Collagen-I Gel
Within A
That
Is
Anchored At The Ends To Porous Felts.
❑ In This System, Cell Mediated Gel Compaction &
Remodelling Result In The Generation Of
Uniaxial Passive Stress Within The Gel,
Which, In Turn, Promotes The Fusion Of
Myoblasts Into Myotubes & Also Myotube
Alignment.
16. BIO-ENGINEERING SOLUTION
❑ Alternatively, Myoblasts Or Mixtures Of Myogenic
Precursors & Fibroblasts, Can Be Cultured On Laminin
Or Hydrogel Coated Dishes Until Spontaneous Contractions
Of Formed Myotubes Detach The Entire Cell Layer,
Allowing It To Self-Assemble Into A Cylindrical
Tissue Construct Attached At The Ends To Premade Suture
Anchors.
❑ Although Cell Alignment Within 3D Constructs Is Not
Required For The Formation Of Contractile
Myotubes, It Increases Fusion Efficiency While
Passive Stress Promotes Both Cell Survival & Myogenesis.
❑ The Most Functional Results Have Been Achieved Using
Fibrin Based Gels.
18. BIO-ENGINEERING SOLUTION
❑ Rapid Prototyping Techniques For Hydrogel Moulding Can
Be Further Used To Vary Local Myofiber Alignment &
To Design Complex Muscle Structures &
Advanced Biomaterials Can Deliver Angiogenic,
Myogenic & Pro- survival Factors To Cells In A
Spatiotemporally Controlled Fashion.

Muscle Tissue Constructs Have Been Generated
Using Magnetic Fields That Allow The Controlled
Assembly Of Magnetically Labelled Cells, As Well As
Thermo-responsive Polymers That Allow Controlled
Cell Detachment From Culture Surfaces.

Viral DNA Aided By Multiple Smaller “Staple” Strands.
❑ These Shorter Strands Bind The Longer In Various Places,
Resulting In The Formation Of A Pre-defined 2
Or 3 Dimensional Shape.
❑ To Produce A Desired Shape, Images Are Drawn With A
Raster Fill Of A Single Long DNA Molecule.
❑ This Design Is Then Fed Into A Computer Program That
Calculates The Placement Of Individual Staple Strands.
❑ Each Staple Binds To A Specific Region Of The DNA Template
& The Necessary Sequences Of All Staple Strands Are Known
& Displayed.
22. DNA ORIGAMI
❑ The DNA Is Mixed, Then Heated & Cooled.
❑ As The DNA Cools, The Various Staples Pull The Long
Strand Into The Desired Shape.

The Process But Has Also Drastically Reduced The
Errors Made By Manual Calculations.
24. DNA ORIGAMI: HOW IT WORKS
❑ Scaffold: A Long, Single-stranded DNA
Molecule Acts As The Base Structure.
❑ Staples: Numerous Short, Designed DNA
Strands
Are Used To Fold The Scaffold Into The
Desired Shape.
❑ Base Pairing: The Specificity Of Base Pairing
(A
With T, G With C) In DNA Ensures That The
Staples Bind To The Scaffold In A Precise Way,
Causing It To Fold Into The Pre-determined Shape.
27. DNA ORIGAMI: APPLICATIONS
❑Long Strands Of DNA Are Folded Into A Complex
Scaffold Of Staple Strands Having 200–300
Nucleotides.
❑This Leads To Formation Of A Complex Structure That
Has Characteristic Features Because Of Their Nanoscale
Dimensions.
❑These DNA Nanostructures Are Known To Still Be In
Their Preliminary Developmental Stages, Since
Key Domains, Such As Their
Biocompatibility & Physiochemical
Characterizations Are Yet To Be Established.
