Bad news for Michael J. Fox, good news for the rest of us.More evidence that adult stem cell is much more promising than embryonic stem cell research, which has shown NO results.
A new study involving researchers from Maryland and Indiana finds that adult stem cells, not embryonic, are best suited for damaged and diseased muscle. The new research, published in the medial journal Nature, involved experiments in mice.
The scientists found the genes involved in muscle development are turned off soon after birth, and are not used by adult stem cells that repair muscle.
The researchers, at the Carnegie Institute’s Department of Embryology in Baltimore, learned that a different set of genes active in adult muscle stem cells take over to repair muscle damage.
This suggests that adult stem cells are best suited for repairing muscle in muscular dystrophy and other muscle injuries.
