Muscle stem cells reduced organ injury in a mouse aging model
Weekly cell injections improved movement and memory in female KM mice given D-galactose for eight weeks to model accelerated aging.Weekly cell injections improved movement and memory in female KM mice given D-galactose for eight weeks to model accelerated aging.
Mouse studyMuscle
Who was studiedFemale KM mice, eight weeks, against D-galactose-treated mice without MuSCs
What changedMuscle stem cell-treated mice had less organ damage than mice given D-galactose alone
The catchNaturally aged mice received behavioral tests, not assessments of broader organ injury
