Researchers from the Center for Nanomedicine within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), Yonsei University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have demonstrated the ability to successfully regrow muscle tissue in mouse models from transplanted cells.
Skeletal muscles do have the ability to regrow on their own, but large volume muscle loss, which can occur following serious injury or treatments such as tumor removal,…
