TLDR
Transplantation of genetically marked bone marrow into immunodeficient mice revealed that marrow-derived cells migrate into areas of induced muscle degeneration, undergo myogenic differentiation, and participate in the regeneration of the damaged fibers.Abstract:
Growth and repair of skeletal muscle are normally mediated by the satellite cells that surround muscle fibers. In regenerating muscle, however, the number of myogenic precursors exceeds that of resident satellite cells, implying migration or recruitment of undifferentiated progenitors from other sources. Transplantation of genetically marked bone marrow into immunodeficient mice revealed that marrow-derived cells migrate into areas of induced muscle degeneration, undergo myogenic differentiation, and participate in the regeneration of the damaged fibers. Genetically modified, marrow-derived myogenic progenitors could potentially be used to target therapeutic genes to muscle tissue, providing an alternative strategy for treatment of muscular dystrophies.read more

Matrix elasticity directs stem cell lineage specification.
TL;DR: Naive mesenchymal stem cells are shown here to specify lineage and commit to phenotypes with extreme sensitivity to tissue-level elasticity, consistent with the elasticity-insensitive commitment of differentiated cell types.

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that a human lipoaspirate contains multipotent cells and may represent an alternative stem cell source to bone marrow-derived MSCs.

TL;DR: To confirm whether adipose tissue contains stem cells, the PLA population and multiple clonal isolates were analyzed using several molecular and biochemical approaches and PLA cells exhibited unique characteristics distinct from those seen in MSCs, including differences in CD marker profile and gene expression.

TL;DR: It is reported here that cells co-purifying with mesenchymal stem cells—termed here multipotent adult progenitor cells or MAPCs—differentiate, at the single cell level, not only into meschymal cells, but also cells with visceral mesoderm, neuroectoderm and endoderm characteristics in vitro.

TL;DR: It is indicated that locally delivered bone marrow cells can generate de novo myocardium, ameliorating the outcome of coronary artery disease.

Marrow Stromal Cells as Stem Cells for Nonhematopoietic Tissues
TL;DR: Marrow stromal cells present an intriguing model for examining the differentiation of stem cells and have several characteristics that make them potentially useful for cell and gene therapy.

Myogenic cells derived from rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exposed to 5‐azacytidine
TL;DR: Support is provided for the suggestion that mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow of postnatal organisms may provide a source for myoprogenitor cells which could function in clinically relevant myogenic regeneration.

Use of a recombinant retrovirus to study post-implantation cell lineage in mouse embryos.
TL;DR: It is shown that a gene introduced into cells of mouse embryos by a retrovirus can serve as a heritable marker for the study of cell lineage in vivo and that several cell types have a pluripotential ancestor and that cell fate is progressively restricted as development proceeds.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mesenchymal precursor cells from marrow that are expanded in culture can serve as long-lasting precursors for mesenchcyal cells in bone, cartilage, and lung and suggest that cells may be particularly attractive targets for gene therapy ex vivo.

TL;DR: Greater understanding of these mechanisms will increase the possibility of total muscle recovery from severe injury or disease and have particular application to the production of meat animals and to a greater understanding of the growth process in general.
