What did studies of Muscle-resident stromal cells find?

3

Studies of Muscle-resident stromal cells measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are new neuron and astrocyte counts (1 study), muscle perfusion (1) and maximal muscle force (1).

New neuron and astrocyte counts

upin mice1

1 study
  1. Muscle-resident stromal cells increase new neuron and astrocyte counts in mice.

    “Intramuscular injection of preconditioned mMSCs increased the number of new neurons and astrocytes in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus compared to both control groups (p<0.05)”

Muscle perfusion

upin mice1

1 study
  1. Muscle-resident stromal cells increase muscle perfusion in mice.

    “Peripheral perfusion was significantly increased in muscle at 4wks post-mMSC injection (p<0.05), yet no difference was noted between control and preconditioned mMSCs.”

Maximal muscle force

no changein mice1

1 study
  1. Muscle-resident stromal cells have no effect on maximal muscle force in mice.

    “No significant changes were observed in muscle weight, myofiber size, maximal force, or satellite cell quantity at 1 or 4wks between groups.”
