Scientists in the United States have developed a simple and robust approach for directly reprogramming mature skin cells into immature muscle cells.

In conclusion, our study reports on a simple and robust approach to generate expandable, non-transformed myogenic cell populations with characteristics of muscle stem cells directly from fibroblasts and muscle tissue. Our results also raise the intriguing possibility that any other stem/progenitor populations of interest could be derived using similar principles, i.e., overexpression of differentiation-associated transcription factors and pharmacological suppression of pathways that resist reprogramming.
