Disorders of skeletal muscle characterized by degeneration of muscle make up the family of muscular dystrophies, aging associated sarcopenia and cancer cachexia. Development of stem cell based therapies for the muscular dystrophies aim to replace the pool of skeletal muscle stem cells required for muscle regeneration. For long-term stem cell based therapy to be effective, transplanted stem cells must not only contribute to the regeneration of healthy muscle, but must also 'self-renew' and be present throughout the lifetime of the individual. The importance of self-renewal is illustrated by the total failure of engrafted myoblasts, which lost the stem-cell capacity to self-renew, to provide any benefit to the muscle of patients with Duchene ...
