Human ‘chimeric’ cells restore crucial protein in Duchenne muscular Dystrophy
Cells made by fusing a normal human muscle cell with a muscle cell from a person with Duchenne muscular dystrophy — a rare but fatal form of muscular dystrophy — were able to significantly improve muscle function when implanted into the muscles of a mouse model of the disease. The findings are reported by researchers...
