Key Findings
- Researchers from East China University of Science and Technology studied decellularized parsley scaffolds for muscle regeneration
- The fibrous pore structure of the parsley scaffold helped muscle cells align in parallel, promoting better muscle formation
- Using these fibrous scaffolds resulted in higher protein content in cultured meat, indicating more efficient muscle cell differentiation
