Jayma Erker

As a Bothell Fellow, Jayma Erker and colleagues in the Marcinek Lab tested a hypothesis that mitochondrial substrate utilization following contraction in aged 3D-Engineeed muscle tissue (EMT) will be decreased compared to young 3D-EMT. The researchers adapted in vivo high-intensity stimulation protocol for use on in vitro 3D-EMT using the Mantarray platform, a system that allows stimulation and monitoring of contractile properties of engineered muscle tissue.
