Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to muscle fiber, require prior scarring for the new cells to graft properly. By adding extracellular matrix (ECM) fluid into the implant, the team ...

Transplanting myoblasts in a fluid containing ECM helped new cells graft into existing tissue. To confirm engraftment, new cells have been designed to emit a green dye, as seen in the bottom right.

Muscles are formed by the merging of many small myoblasts into larger myofibers. This fusion of mononucleated myoblasts with a single nucleus into multinucleated myofibers with multiple nuclei is an ...

Huddled in a single layer along a narrow glass slide, the cells—in this case myoblasts, progenitors of muscle cells—were the latest of hundreds that Wan had plated using a technique called ...

An Austrian study has shown that injection of autologous myoblasts and fibroblasts is much more effective than collagen injection for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence. The randomized ...

During myogenic differentiation the cellular architecture and proteome of muscle stem cells and myoblasts undergo extensive remodeling. These molecular processes are only partially understood and ...
