Funded Activity Summary

The successful use of stem cell therapy absolutely requires the longterm intergration of the therapeutic cells into the target tissue. This application will adapt a chemotherapy-based strategy to drive the successful incorporation and growth of healthy muscle stem cells into diseased muscle. This study will both enhance our understanding of muscle stem cells and provide proof-of-principle for a universal approach to the uptake of stem cells by a target tissue.
