In this work, a decellularization protocol was optimized to obtain decellularized matrices of fetal mouse skeletal muscle. C2C12 myoblasts can colonize these matrices, proliferate, and differentiate. This in vitro model can be used to study cell behavior in the context of skeletal muscle diseases such as muscular dystrophies.
