  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS RELATING TO MYOMAKER-INDUCED MUSCLE CELL FUSION
    Publication number: 20230053219
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes the fusogenic activity of the Myomaker protein. This polypeptide, when expressed in non-muscle cells, is able to drive fusion of the cell with a muscle cell, but not with other non-muscle cells. The use of this protein and cell expressing it in the delivery of exogenous genetic material to muscle cells also is described.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 30, 2022
    Publication date: February 16, 2023
    Applicant: The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System
    Inventors: Eric OLSON, Douglas P. MILLAY
