Just like scientists use toy models and simulations to understand complex phenomena, they are now using tissue engineering to unlock the mysteries of diabetes. By cultivating lab-grown skeletal muscle tissues that mimic diabetes or growing muscle from diabetic patients’ stem cells, researchers can delve into the intricate interplay between genetics and environmental factors in this metabolic disorder. Recent advancements in skeletal muscle engineering have paved the way for personalized medicine, as they enable scientists to explore diabetes in a more human-like context. This innovative approach holds great promise in uncovering new insights and potential treatments for diabetes.
