Muscle tissue is formed by elongated and contractile cells with specific morphofunctional characteristics. Thus, it is divided into three basic types: smooth muscle tissue, cardiac striated muscle tissue and skeletal striated muscle tissue. The striated skeletal muscle tissue presents high plasticity, regeneration and growth capacity due to the presence of satellite cells, quiescent myoblasts that are activated in case of injury to the tissue and originate new muscle fibers when they differentiate. In more severe deficiencies or injuries there is a loss of their regenerative capacity, thus compromising the body's functionality at different levels. Tissue engineering studies the development of biomaterials capable of stimulating the recovery of cellular activity in injured body tissues, as well as the activity of cells with muscle differentiation potential in injury repair. However, the need for three-dimensional re-assembly in a complex organization makes it difficult to mimic this tissue and fully regenerate it for the sake of precise and effective movements. Thus, this article aims to provide a narrative review of tissue engineering strategies applied to the regeneration of skeletal muscle, in a critical evaluation of research, whether aimed at injury or atrophies such as spinal muscular atrophy.
