Abstract Purpose: In muscle tissues, anisotropic cell alignment is essential for optimal muscle fiber development and function. Biomaterials for muscle tissue engineering must guide cellular alignment while supporting cell proliferation and myogenic differentiation.

1 Introduction Melt electrowriting (MEW) is a high-resolution 3D printing technology first described over a decade ago.[1] Used primarily for fabricating biomedical materials, MEW deposits microscale polymer fibers layer-by-layer to create high resolution and well-organized porous scaffolds, often intended to resemble the microarchitecture of native tissue. MEW products are of interest for a wide range of applications including tissue engineering (TE) and cancer research.
