HOUSTON - (May 14, 2021) - Rice University bioengineers are fabricating and testing tunable electrospun scaffolds completely derived from decellularized skeletal muscle to promote the regeneration of injured skeletal muscle.
Their paper in
Science Advances shows how natural extracellular matrix can be made to mimic native skeletal muscle and direct the alignment, growth and differentiation of myotubes, one of the building blocks of skeletal muscle. The bioactive scaffolds are made in the lab via electrospinning, a high-throughput process that can produce single micron-scale fibers.
Northeast Animal Shelter, MSPCA asking for donations for puppy’s surgery Boston25News.com Staff
The Northeast Animal Shelter [NEAS] and the MSPCA’s Angell Animal Medical Center are asking for donations to help offset the cost of surgery for a 3-month-old pit bull mix puppy named Bradley.
Bradley, who was recently sent to Massachusetts from Georgia, has Pulmonic Stenosis [PS], a congenital heart condition that doctors say is likely fatal.
Bradley has a life-threatening heart
condition called Pulmonic Stenosis. Without surgery, he’s at high risk for a heart-related episode… or even sudden death. Although the procedure is risky, we believe he deserves the chance to live.

Now those at MSPCA are working hard to save the Bradley.
When Bradley arrived at Northeast Animal Shelter from Georgia, his health check revealed a congenital heart condition called Pulmonic Stenosis (PS). The condition puts “Bradley at risk of sudden death after just 90 days of life.”
“His condition is so severe that we had to determine if surgery would even be an option for him,” said Dr. Lindsey Rynk of the Northeast Animal Shelter. “None of us were prepared to give up, however, so we turned to the MSPCA-Angell for help.”
