Figure Legend Snippet: Schematic diagram showing the mechanism of VML tissue repair. L6 cell sheets obtained from the PDMS/CNTs-Ppy conductive wrinkled cell culture platform are transplanted into the VML site for skeletal muscle repair. The microstructured, electroactive substrate pre-primes the L6 cells, while preserving cell-cell connections, cell-ECM interactions, and a high-density, high-activity cell sheet. Consequently, the L6 cell sheets promote myogenic differentiation, maintain electromechanical coupling, reduce inflammation, and enhance neovascularisation, enabling rapid functional repair at the injury site.
