Replacement of skeletal muscle could be a powerful tool the treatment of muscle-wasting conditions such as Duchenne dystrophy, but only a limited number of cell types are known to have myoregenerative properties. In 13 May Journal of Cell Biology, Zhuqing Qu-Petersen and colleagues from University of Pittsburgh, USA, describe a novel population of murine muscle stem cells, which can proliferate, make dystrophin and improve muscle regeneration (DOI: 10.1083/jcb.200108150).
