Abstract
Disclosed herein are hydrogels that can be loaded with myogenic agents, for instance muscle stem cells (MuSCs)/satellite cells, pro-myogenic factors, and combinations thereof. The hydrogels can be contacted with damaged muscle tissue, thereby facilitating muscle growth and repair. Further provided are methods of repairing muscle tissue in a patient in need thereof, said methods comprising contacting the muscle tissue with a composition comprising the hydrogel. Also provided herein are kits comprising the hydrogel composition and a substrate comprising at least one microneedle.
