Excitingly, the in vitro expansion of MuSC cultures in the presence of PFI - 2 increased the yield and maintained the self - renewal capacity of MuSCs, and following transplantation into injured tibialis anterior muscles of muscular
dystrophy model mice, boosted MuSC engraftment and overall therapeutic efficacy.
