Article Synopsis
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a serious muscle disease caused by changes in a gene called dystrophin, and using myogenic stem cells might help treat it.
- Scientists created a special type of stem cell called iMSCs and tested how well they help other muscle cells grow and stick in muscles in mice that have DMD.
- The study found that iMSCs help muscle cells grow and survive better than regular stem cells, and they produce helpful substances that improve the attachment of these muscle cells in the muscle.
