Muscle progenitors refer to cells that have the ability to develop into muscle tissue. They are like the 'building blocks' that grow and form different parts of our muscles. Full definition
For these purposes, we are establishing a partnership with Jamel Chelly (Cochin, Paris, France) to produce iPS cells from muscle progenitor cells of healthy subjects and patients affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. (istem.eu)
As stem cells continue their gradual transition from the lab to the clinic, a research group at the University of Wisconsin - Madison has discovered a new way to make large concentrations of skeletal muscle cells and muscle progenitors from human stem cells. (sciencedaily.com)
«We have demonstrated that engineered blood vessels prepared with smooth muscle progenitor cells from hair follicles are capable of dilating and constricting, critical properties that make them ideal for engineering cardiovascular tissue regeneration,» said Andreadis. (sciencedaily.com)
