Due to its complex architecture, the MTJ is particularly susceptible to injury under conditions of excessive stretching, high-impact loading, aging and neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophies. Despite its significant physiological role, research on the MTJ remains limited, primarily due to the challenges associated with obtaining human tissue samples. This limitation underscores the urgent need for advanced\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    models that can accurately replicate tissue-specific features. In this work, we developed a human-derived 3D MTJ-like model using the rotary wet-spinning technology. Human primary pericytes and human tendon derived stem cells were spatially patterned within the extruded hydrogel fibers in a consecutive manner to form highly integrated and anisotropically aligned biomimetic multicellular tissue constructs. Upon maturation, immunofluorescence analysis confirmed the presence of tendon and muscle-tissue specific markers including collagen type I, collagen type III, tenascin, tenomodulin and myosin heavy chain, respectively. Specifically, cellular organization recapitulated the interdigitated architecture typical of the MTJ native microenvironment. Moreover, the expression of collagen type VI, thrombospondin 4, and collagen type XXII, along with the polarized localization of paxillin and neural cell adhesion molecule 1 at the myotube\u2013tendon interface, confirmed the establishment of a highly specialized junctional niche characterized by active cell\u2013matrix interactions and cytoskeletal anchorage. Collectively, our biomimetic 3D model could offer a promising platform for the in-depth investigation of musculoskeletal development, pathophysiological processes, and the advancement of targeted therapeutic strategies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1758-5090\/ae3d86","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,26]],"date-time":"2026-01-26T22:54:03Z","timestamp":1769468043000},"page":"015035","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Recapitulating the human myotendinous junction\n                    <i>in vitro<\/i>\n                    using a 3D bioprinted model"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3613-2721","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Francesca","family":"De Paolis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marina","family":"Volpi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Fuoco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5333-7502","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alessio","family":"Reggio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1659-3185","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rebecca","family":"Deodati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Bernardini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Palma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umile Giuseppe","family":"Longo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Santorelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabio","family":"Scirocchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Vinci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Grumati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2756-5872","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marco","family":"Costantini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4216-9974","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Wojciech","family":"\u015awi\u0119szkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1742-3969","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Cesare","family":"Gargioli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bfae3d86bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apmt.2020.100752","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Hierarchical fibrous structures for muscle\u2010inspired soft\u2010actuators: a review","volume":"20","author":"Gotti","year":"2020","journal-title":"Appl.
