Researchers isolate adult muscle stem cells for skeletal muscle repair in mice
October 9th, 2005
Researchers from the Institut Pasteur and the CNRS have succeeded in isolating muscle stem cells displaying a high potential for muscle repair. The cells, which correspond to satellite cells, were, until now, inaccessible in their native state. Twenty thousand muscle stem/satellite cells were sufficient to promote significant muscle repair in mice, whereas one million cultured muscle precursor cells were required in previous assays. This work, published on September 1, 2005 in Science provides new insights into adult muscle stem cells and sheds new light on the potential of such cells for the cell therapy of muscular defects. ...
