Cells of extraembryonic mesodermal origin confer human dystrophin in the Mdx model of duchenne muscular dystrophy
16 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked recessive genetic disease characterized by severe skeletal muscular degeneration. The placenta is considered to be a promising candidate cell source for cellular therapeutics because it contains a large number of cells and heterogenous cell populations with myogenic potentials. We analyzed the myogenic potential of cells obtained from six parts of the placenta, that is,...
