MYOGENIC DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS

摘要

Compositions of matter which comprise a mixture of isolated muscle precursor cells with either isolated mesenchymal stem cells or isolated periosteum cells, optionally further including a myoinductive agent, a method for inducing isolated human mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into myogenic cells, a method for producing dystrophin-positive myogenic cells in a mammal, a method for effecting muscle regeneration, and a method for treating muscular dystrophy are disclosed.
