Normal and injured primary human skeletal muscle cells (HSkMCs) were embedded in 3-D Life Hydrogel and submitted to rolling manipulation, a specific mechanical stimulation used in chinese medicine, to assess its effect on injured skeletal muscle cells. After hydrogel cultures were submitted during a 3 day cultivation to rolling manipulation, cells were recovered from the hydrogels using Dextranase and subsequently treated for protein extraction. Proteomic data and Western Blot analysis showed which signalling pathways might be important pathways by which rolling manipulation ameliorates HSkMC injury.
