Myoblasts are differentiated, immature cells destined to become muscles, which can be used for safe and efficient universal gene transfer. This book explains recent work in human myoblast genome therapy, or HMGT (previously known as myoblast transfer therapy, or MTT), a platform technology of cell transplantation, nuclear transfer, and tissue engineering. It describes research on myoblast transfer in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) subjects, HMGT and the regenerative heart, and the first myoblast study of Type II diabetic patients. Color images and photos are included. The authors are affiliated with Cell Transplants Asia Ltd., Canada, and the National University Hospital, Singapore.
