and this delayed the differentiation process.” These findings suggest that IGFBP-6 could potentially be used to help guide skeletal muscle regeneration for use in stem cell therapies.

A new role of calcium in the development of muscles has been reported by two RIKEN biologists.

But classical differentiation protocols to create these muscle cells are long, complex and difficult to reproduce. An advanced technique now allows human iPSCs to be converted into striated ...

Satellite cells are muscle stem cells responsible ... that are involved in muscle differentiation, after 30 days, the expression levels of MyoD decreased and Pax7 increased, indicating a shift ...

Our longterm goals are to understand the mechanisms regulating the growth, differentiation and self-renewal of skeletal muscle satellite cells for eventual use in cell-based gene therapy approaches.

Not surprisingly, the protein that orchestrates muscle-specific genes in muscle cells differs from a master regulator ... But for researchers who might hope to steer cancer cell differentiation, this ...

A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being tested in humans ...
