1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D Increases the Transplantation Success of Human Muscle Precursor Cells in SCID Mice

Human muscle precursor cell (hMPC) transplantation is a potential therapy for severe muscle trauma or myopathies. Some previous studies demonstrated that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D 3 (1,25-D 3 ) acted directly on myoblasts, regulating their proliferation and fusion. 1,25-D 3 is also involved in apoptos...
