Innovation in skeletal muscle regeneration

Recently published UCL research outlines a strategy for regenerating skeletal muscle tissue using cells from the recipient’s own body.

The paper shows that damaged muscle tissues treated with satellite cells in a special degradable hydrogel showed satisfactory regeneration and muscle activity. Muscle activity in repaired muscle in a mouse model was comparable with untreated muscles. This is the first time muscle function has been proved by physiological tests.
