Table 1 Characteristics of SCs and MDSCs
From: The role and therapeutic potential of stem cells in skeletal muscle in sarcopenia
Stem cell source | Major access | Markers in human | Common and respective strengths | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
SCs | Muscle biopsy | PAX7, MYF5, MYOD, MYOG, MRF4, CTR, CAV1, ITGA7 | Robust proliferation and differentiation potential No toxicity and immune rejection | More investigated |
MDSCs | Preplate technique | SCA-1, CD34, CD45, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD29, CD44, CD133 | Â | Multilineage differentiation capacity Larger mass accessible |
