Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal muscles always come in pairs, just like trainers. But there is a little bit more to it than that.

As cell-based therapies aimed at prolongation of skeletal muscle strength in aging and neuromuscular disease are limited by the small number of muscle stem cells isolated from normal muscle ...
