Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question.
Q: Question: Does preconditioning of skeletal myoblast-based engineered tissue constructs enable functional coupling to myocardium in vivo?
Answer: Although untreated skeletal myoblasts cannot couple to cardiomyocytes, we confirm that mechanical preconditioning enables transplanted skeletal myoblasts to functionally interact with cardiomyocytes invivo and, thus, reinvigorate the concept of skeletal myoblast-based cardiac cell therapy.
A:
yes
