Donor Satellite Cell Engraftment Is SignificantlyAugmented When the Host Niche Is Preserved and Endogenous Satellite Cells Are Incapacitated
22 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Stem cell transplantation is already in clinical practice for certain genetic diseases and is a promising therapy for dystrophic muscle. We used the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy to investigate the effect of the host satellite cell niche on the contribution of donor muscle stem cells (satellite cells) to muscle regeneration. We found that incapacitation of the host satellite cells and...
