Human satellite
cell cultures display numerous features of mature
skeletal muscles (1) and have been used for studies of
muscle metabolism in cultures
established from patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy control subjects (1 — 5,8,9,21,22).
The authors highlight the successful application of both induced pluripotent stem
cells and embryonic stem
cells for this first example of the in vitro formation of functional and mature
skeletal muscle tissue, thereby also
establishing the potential for patient - specificity in disease modeling, drug development, and possible
muscle repair.
