<<CNL found that low dose radiation exposure resulted in a substantial improvement of muscle fiber formation, and that the loss of this capacity – which is routinely observed in a long term culture – is partially reversed through this treatment. Overall, the data indicates that low dose radiation enhances muscle stem cell memory. Although specific mechanisms of this enhancement are unknown, these results open up opportunities for improving the properties of muscle stem cells destined for therapeutic transplantation. >>
