Skeletal muscle-derived interstitial progenitor cells (PICs) display stem cell properties, being clonogenic, self-renewing, and multi-potent in vitro and in vivo
4 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
The development of cellular therapies to treat muscle wastage with disease or age is paramount. Resident muscle satellite cells are not currently regarded as a viable cell source due to their limited migration and growth capability ex vivo. This study investigated the potential of muscle-derived PW1 + /Pax7 – interstitial progenitor cells (PICs) as a source of tissue-specific stem/progenitor cells with stem cell...
