Muscle Stem Cells from Teratomas
Jul 10, 2018, 7:42 PM
Michael Kyba's lab shows that functional skeletal muscle stem cells can be produced from mouse pluripotent stem cells without genetic modification through teratoma formation. As few as 40,000 teratoma-derived cells can regenerate 80% of total muscle volume, improve force generation, and mature into functional muscle stem cells in vivo.

High-throughput screening identifies inhibitors of DUX4-induced myoblast toxicity
Jan 7, 2014, 9:45 AM
We have developed a high-throughput screen based on the toxicity of DUX4 when overexpressed in C2C12 myoblasts, and identified inhibitors of DUX4-induced toxicity from within a diverse set of 44,000 small, drug-like molecules.

Dr. Michael Kyba: Evaluating the stem cell hypothesis for FSHD
Aug 1, 2008, 12:34 PM
Dr. Kyba will insert D4Z4 repeats into the mouse genome in ES at a site on the X-chromosome, known to enable tissue-specific expression of transgenes, and to tolerate dominant lethal genes. He will study whether the presence of these repeats affects differentiation of the ES cells, and will produce mice bearing D4Z4 repeats, as a potential animal model for FSHD.
