Researchers in Japan said they have been able to stop the deterioration associated with muscular dystrophy by creating stem cells and implanting them in a mouse.
A team of researchers from Asahi Kasei and Kyoto University said it created skeletal muscle stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells.
The scientists said they planned to attempt the same procedure in a dog before considering human clinical trials. Japan counts about 30,000 people with the disease.
