Characterized other proteins and pathways that modulate proliferation and differentiation of myogenic stem cells, hypertrophic growth of the heart, mitochondrial biogenesis and fiber type — specific gene expression in skeletal muscles. (gladstone.org)
«Starting with pluripotent stem cells that are not muscle cells, but can become all existing cells in our body, allows us to grow an unlimited number of myogenic progenitor cells,» said Nenad Bursac, professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University. (sciencedaily.com)
Discovered a novel transcription factor that modulates important steps in the transitions of adult myogenic stem cells to and from quiescence during muscle regeneration. (gladstone.org)
