What is the Clinical Relevance of Muscle Progenitor Cells?

Muscle progenitor cells hold significant potential in clinical applications, especially in the treatment of muscle degenerative diseases such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and myopathies. Researchers are exploring various strategies to harness these cells for regenerative therapies, including gene editing, cell transplantation, and biomaterial scaffolds. Understanding the biology of muscle progenitor cells is crucial for developing effective treatments for these conditions.
