Patients with degenerative diseases that attack skeletal muscle tissues, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, may soon benefit from novel stem cell therapies. A study has demonstrated how new ...

Cell therapy is an exciting new technique involving the administration of live cells to repair tissues in patients that suffer from musculoskeletal diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, cancers ...

tissue stem cells produce new specialized cells at a relatively constant pace. Blood stem cells and intestinal stem cells for example constantly produce new progeny. In contrast to this, muscle stem ...

Pathways to new treatments for heart failure take time -; as long as four decades for two now accepted therapies. So, new attempts to repair scar tissue in infarcted hearts using cells or cell ...

Lab-grown muscle tissue is produced from animal stem cells. A culture of these cells is bathed in nutrients and growth factors, along with an edible scaffold to support the development of 3D ...

As muscles age, their cells lose the ability to regenerate and heal after injury. Cornell Engineering researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how that change, in mice, ...
