Funded Activity Summary

Human stem cells, obtained and studied within strict ethical guidelines, have huge potential for increasing our understanding of early human development and for transplantation therapy. In order to realise this potential the factors that maintain these cells as stem cells (able to divide indefinitely and to become any cell type) and which turn them into particular cell types must be understood. This project aims to study these factors and to apply stem cells to muscle disease therapy.
