The clinic Center starts Myoblast cell culture to treat muscle diseases. authorized by the Spanish medicines agency. – will allow in the future treatment of muscular diseases, among which the fibrillar breaks would be Madrid, April of 2013- the laboratory of Cellular therapy clinic Center, Amplicel, has been authorized by the Spanish medicines agency to start the research and with Myoblast cell culture. These cells are the native tissue that form the muscles, and its cultivation and regeneration could allow in the future treatment of muscle injuries, fibrillar breaks or other pathologies involving muscle, such as urinary incontinence, muscular dystrophy and cardiomyopathy. The clinic Center, world leader in the crop and implantation of chondrocytes, autologous for treating cartilage injuries, thus starts with Myoblast cell therapy research. These muscle cells could be complemented by the chondrocytes for the treatment of lesions that are involved both muscle and cartilage ”, explains Dr. Elena RodrÃguez Iñigo, technical director of Amplicel. The Center clinic has a white cell culture room that follow good manufacturing standards that ensure the highest quality of production. The use of myoblasts as therapeutic agents around the world is under investigation, and soon it is expected that it can be applied in clinical trials with patients suffering from various diseases affecting the musculoskeletal. Myopathies or muscular diseases can be caused by physiological defects or injuries. Fibrillar breaks are the...
