Cell Therapies for Muscle Regeneration
Cell therapy is a novel therapeutic approach for muscle regeneration. It involves the transplantation of specialized cells that can help restore the structure and function of damaged or diseased muscle. Cells used in cell therapy range from muscle stem cells known as myoblasts to other cell types such as satellite cells, mesenchymal stem cells and vascular endothelial cells. Cell-based therapies can restore muscle after injury or disease, providing new therapeutic hope for people with muscle degenerative conditions such as muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Additionally, cell therapies may provide a viable alternative to invasive tissue grafting procedures, potentially increasing recovery outcomes with minimal risk.
