One of the molecular mysteries hindering development of regenerative therapy for muscles is uncovering the precise genetic and molecular processes that cause skeletal muscle stem cells (called myoblasts) to fuse and form the striated muscle fibers that allow movement.
Two weeks after the experimental myocardial infarctions, the Seattle researchers injected 1 billion heart muscle cells derived from human embryonic stem cells, called human embryonic stem cell - derived cardiomyocytes, into the infarcted muscle.
In a related paper published online today in Nature Biotechnology, Konrad Hochedlinger of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute in Cambridge and his colleagues compared the gene expression patterns in mouse iPS cells derived from white blood cells, muscle precursor cells, immune system cells called B cells, and fibroblasts taken from tail tips.
The pluripotent stem cells are then grown while being flooded with a molecule called Pax7 — which signals the cells to start becoming muscle.
In a new study, doctoral student Cajsa Davegårdh has studied so - called DNA methylation in muscle stem cells in both obese and non-obese individuals.
The experiment shows that β1 - integrin — one of 28 types of integrin — maintains a link between the stem cell and its environment, and interacts biochemically with a growth factor called fibroblast growth factor [FGF] to promote stem cell growth and restoration after muscle tissue injury.
Within a hair follicle, there are stem cells that reside in an area called the hair follicle «bulge,» which is a small compartment located where the outer root sheath meets the arrector pili muscle (see Hair Follicle figure).
A team led by Dr. Alexey Terskikh at Sanford - Burnham Medical Research Institute (Sanford - Burnham) recently found that expression of a gene called SOX2 maintains the potential for neural crest stem cells to become neurons in the peripheral nervous system, where they interface with muscles and other organs.
