Muse Stem Cells

Muse cells—short for multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring cells—are a small population of stem cells found within adult tissues such as bone marrow, fat, and skin. They are able to tolerate cellular stress and can develop into several kinds of tissue cells.

What makes Muse cells different

Muse cells are generally described as a rare subset within mesenchymal or stromal cell populations. They are adult-tissue cells, not embryonic stem cells, and they are not another name for every type of MSC.

Adult-tissue origin

Muse cells are generally described as a rare subset within mesenchymal or stromal cell populations. They are adult-tissue cells, not embryonic stem cells, and they are not another name for every type of MSC.

Stress endurance

Muse cells—short for multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring cells—are a small population of stem cells found within adult tissues such as bone marrow, fat, and skin. They are able to tolerate cellular stress and can develop into several kinds of tissue cells.

Regenerative research

Researchers are interested in Muse cells because of the way they respond to cellular stress and their potential role in tissue-focused repair. This has made them an emerging area of regenerative-medicine research.

Questions

Common questions

What does Muse mean?

Muse is short for multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring, a name that reflects how these cells were identified and studied.

Are Muse cells the same as all mesenchymal stem cells?

No. Muse cells are generally described as a small subset found within broader mesenchymal or stromal cell populations.

Why are people interested in Muse cells?

Interest centers on their ability to tolerate cellular stress, develop into several kinds of tissue cells, and participate in regenerative-medicine research.
