Significant progress has been made during the past decade towards the clinical adoption of
cell-based therapeutics. However, existing cell-delivery approaches have shown limited …

Muscle injury presents a challenging problem in traumatology and is frequently encountered
in sports medicine. The injury can occur via a variety of mechanisms, ranging from direct …

Background A high glucose level is usually considered to be the factor that induces tissue
and cell dysfunction and damage, commonly known as “glucose toxicity”. Objective This …

Tissue engineering of skeletal muscle from cultured cells has been attempted using a variety
of synthetic and natural macromolecular scaffolds. Our study describes the application of …

Survival and proliferation of skeletal myoblasts within the cardiac environment are crucial to
the therapeutic efficacy of myoblast transplantation to the heart. We have analyzed the early …

Muscle injuries are very common in traumatology and sports medicine. Although muscle
tissue can regenerate postinjury, the healing process is slow and often incomplete; complete …

The current technique to replace missing craniofacial skeletal muscle is the surgical transfer
of local or free flaps. This is associated with donor site morbidity, possible tissue rejection …

BACKGROUND: Stem cell therapy is a promising therapeutic strategy for stress urinary
incontinence (SUI). However, its current efficacy is insufficient. OBJECTIVE: We designed a …

Satellite cells are key cells for post-natal muscle growth and regeneration and they play a
central role in the search for therapies to treat muscle injuries. In this study the proliferation …

Background The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is required for the activation of muscle
progenitor cells called satellite cells (SC), plays a role in the migration of proliferating SC …
