[Plasticity of skeletal muscle differentiation generating stem cell-like phenotype: possible application to cell therapy for muscular diseases].

Abstract excerpt

Drug therapy, gene therapy, and cell therapy may be effective to degenerative muscular diseases caused by genetic mutations including muscular dystrophy. Stem cells including embryonic stem (ES) cells and adult stem cells (tissue stem cells) are generally believed to be applicable to cell therapy. However, both types of cells have several problems to be solved for the cell therapy. We have shown that the...
