Researchers find silkworm silk may help better treatment of muscle atrophy ANI | Updated: Mar 14, 2021 15:13 IST
Washington [US], March 14 (ANI): In a step to discover the method to improve on traditional methods of cell culture, the researchers at the Utah State University recently used the silk from silkworm to grow skeletal muscle cells. The results of the study may hopefully lead to better treatments for muscle atrophy.
When scientists are trying to understand the disease and test treatments, they generally grow model cells on a flat plastic surface (think petri dish). But growing cells on a two-dimensional surface has its limitations, primarily because muscle tissue is three-dimensional.

When scientists are trying to understand the disease and test treatments, they generally grow model cells on a flat plastic surface (think petri dish). But growing cells on a two-dimensional surface has its limitations, primarily because muscle tissue is three-dimensional.
Thus, USU researchers developed a three-dimensional cell culture surface by growing cells on silk fibers that are wrapped around an acrylic chassis. The team used both native and transgenic silkworm silk, the latter produced by silkworms modified with spider silk genes.
