Electronic health record mining reveals effects of patient immune status on clinical outcomes of biomaterial implantation following skeletal muscle damage.

No effective treatments for extensive muscle loss currently exist, and, as such, the health burden of VML is cumulatively quite significant. 3 Recently explored treatment strategies for VML include implantation of various biomaterials to enhance muscle regeneration, including decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds, mesenchymal stem cell scaffolds and more. 4 While some of these materials have shown promising results, none have been successful at fully restoring baseline functionality.
