The new method, described in the journal Stem Cells Translational Medicine, could be used to generate large numbers of muscle cells and muscle progenitors directly from human pluripotent stem ceStem Cells Translational Medicine, could be used to generate large numbers of muscle cells and muscle progenitors directly from human pluripotent stem cestem cells.

«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.

To create different cell types in the lab, stem cells must be coaxed down the road of determination — the branching paths that fetal cells normally travel to become neurons, skin cells, muscle cells, or any number of other cell types.

In a new study, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have investigated the number of mutations that accumulate in the muscle's stem cells (satellite cells).

A new study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows how an unexpectedly high number of mutations in the stem cells of muscles impair cell regeneration.

In the future, medical researchers anticipate being able to use technologies derived from stem cell research to treat cancer, spinal cord injuries, and muscle damage, amongst a number of other diseases and impairments.

Although unequal division occurs among stem cells — allowing one daughter cell to remain a stem cell while the other matures into another cell type, such as a skin or muscle cell — the goal of a normal symmetric cell division is to generate identical daughter cells and increase cell number.

The decline in skeletal muscle function associated with human ageing can be ascribed to an increasing number of mutations in satellite cells — the resident stem cells of skeletal muscle.

In a new study, researchers have investigated the number of mutations that accumulate in the muscle's stem cells (satellite cells).

In the same way, whereas NR supplementation increased muscle stem cell number in aged mice, thereby enhancing mitochondrial function and muscle strength, it reduced the expression of cell senescence and apoptosis markers [233]; the state of senescence is important to protect against carcinogenesis [234].
