Human multipotent adipose‐derived stem cells restore dystrophin expression of Duchenne skeletal‐muscle cells <i>in vitro</i>
19 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) is a devastating X-linked disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. The use of cell therapy for the repair of defective muscle is being pursued as a possible treatment for DMD. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to differentiate and display a myogenic phenotype in vitro. Since liposuctioned human fat is available in...
