The novelty of this technique is that it generates a larger number of muscle stem cells without using genetic modification, which is required by existing methods for making muscle cells. (sciencedaily.com)
It is well established that both genes are needed to produce muscle stem cells in the embryo. (carnegiescience.edu)
A genetic approach in the mouse has been used to examine how skeletal muscle stem cells are born, and how they acquire their identity. (eurosystemproject.eu)
