A May 2021 study at the Sulk Institute said,
"Our study uncovers specific factors that are able to accelerate muscle regeneration, as well as revealing the mechanism by which this occurred."
"Our laboratory previously showed that these factors can rejuvenate cells and promote tissue regeneration in live animals … But how this happens was not previously known."
"Our laboratory has recently developed novel gene-editing technologies that could be used to accelerate muscle recovery after injury and improve muscle function," he says. "We could potentially use this technology to either directly reduce Wnt4 levels in skeletal muscle or to block the communication between Wnt4 and muscle stem cells."
