Abstract

This work rests on our non-viral tissue nanotransfection (TNT) platform to deliver MyoD (TNT<sub>MyoD</sub>) to injured tissue in vivo. TNT<sub>MyoD</sub> was performed on skin and successfully induced expression of myogenic factors. TNT<sub>MyoD</sub> was then used as a therapy 7 days following volumetric muscle loss (VML) of rat tibialis anterior and rescued muscle function. TNT<sub>MyoD</sub> is promising as VML intervention.
