Galectin‐1 Induces Skeletal Muscle Differentiation in Human Fetal Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Increases Muscle Regeneration
5 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Cell therapy for degenerative muscle diseases such as the muscular dystrophies requires a source of cells with the capacity to participate in the formation of new muscle fibers. We investigated the myogenic potential of human fetal mesenchymal stem cells (hfMSCs) using a variety of stimuli. The use of 5-azacytidine or steroids did not produce skeletal muscle differentiation, whereas myoblast-conditioned medium...
