To help patients with muscle disorders, scientists have engineered a new stem cell line to study the conversion of stem cells into muscle.
Prospect of mesenchymal stem cells in therapy of osteoporosis: A review
Source: NCBI
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease associated with reduced bone strong point that results in raised fracture risk, with decreased bone strength, leading to reduced bone mineral density and poor bone quality. It is the most common in older females but some men are also at high risk. Although considered as a predictable result of aging, it is can be avoidable and treatable.
Maintaining the unlimited potential of stem cells

Scientists have discovered a new protein complex that keeps the brakes on stem cells, allowing them to maintain their indefinite potential. The new complex, called GBAF, could provide a future target for regenerative medicine.
Stem cell therapy may provide promising alternative to joint replacement surgery

Identification of the human skeletal stem cell by Stanford scientists could pave the way for regenerative treatments for bone fractures, arthritis and joint injuries.
Stem Cell Therapy in Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
