Sarah M. Greising, PhD, associate professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), recently published a mini-review entitled, “Human muscle in gene edited pigs for treatment of volumetric muscle loss“ in the journal Frontiers in Genetics. The review, part of a special collection on Genetic Engineering in Farm Animals, provides insight on the potential of a novel treatment option using gene edited pigs as a platform to overcome the clinical challenges and limitations in the field for complex skeletal muscle traumas. The collaborative work is co-authored by colleagues at the University of Minnesota (Mary Garry, PhD, and Daniel Garry, MD, PhD) and colleagues at Columbia University (Joshua Weiner, MD, and David Sachs, MD).
