Abstract
Extremity injuries make up the most common survivable injuries in vehicular accidents and modern military conflicts. A majority of these injuries involve volumetric muscle loss (VML). The potential for donor site morbidity may limit the clinical use of autologous muscle grafts for VML injuries. Treatments that can improve the regeneration of functional muscle tissue are critically needed to improve limb salvage and reduce the rate of delayed amputations. The development of a laminin-111-enriched fibrin hydrogel will offer a potentially transformative and "off-the-shelf" clinically relevant therapy for functional skeletal muscle regeneration.
