Making Muscle Cells Behave Like Satellite Stem Cells After Being Transplanted | Michael Hicks, Ph.D.

Satellite cells are a special type of stem cell involved in the growth and repair of the muscles throughout the human body. With April Pyle’s lab, Michael Hicks is studying how to make muscle cells behave like satellite cells after being transplanted by harnessing the cellular environment that gives satellite cells their cues. Using pluripotent stem cells, he is working to create muscle cells that are programmed to find the satellite cell environment once transplanted. This work could lead to potential treatments for muscle diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
