Here we see the sarcomere units in the muscle tissue (red) of a mouse that was injected with a regenerative nanofiber matrix (blue). The nanofibers were injected with a micro-manipulating device that allows us to align the nanofibers parallel to the muscle tissue. The alignment of nanofibers allows proliferating cells to match the organization of the neighboring muscle thus accelerating the healing process after injury.
