Gene silencing directs muscle-derived stem cells to become bone-forming cells
Filed in ScienceMore Adult Stem Cell (ASC) advances you won’t hear about in the MSM:
Using a relatively new technology called RNA interference to turn off genes that regulate cell differentiation, University of Pittsburgh researchers have demonstrated they can increase the propensity of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) to become bone-forming cells.
Why is this development important, you ask?
Cells can [...]
