Development of Stem Cell Strategies for the Prevention of Age-Related Muscle Lossdiscusses the latest science in an emerging area of muscle physiology research. Among thetopics covered, the DVD discusses satellite and mesenchymal stem cells attendant tosarcopenia. In addition the DVD reviews the results of numerous studies involving stem cellresearch that examined therapeutic strategies to increase cell proliferation and new fibersynthesis in musculature. Furthermore, the DVD looks at how those factors may contributeto the regeneration of muscle mass and restoration of function, consequently slowing theprogression of disability with age.
