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 ...

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.

Skeletal muscles are formed during embryonic development by the fusion of hundreds of specialized cells called myoblasts. Adult skeletal muscles maintain regenerative capacity, which is attributed ...

In a series of experiments, researchers overexpressed NANOG in myoblasts, which are the embryonic precursors to muscle tissue. The myoblasts were senescent, meaning they were no longer able to ...

Or rather, they looked left, Wan noticed, as he peered at them through a microscope around 2009. Huddled in a single layer along a narrow glass slide, the cells—in this case myoblasts, progenitors of ...
