I´ve found protocols for other species and I´m still looking for human fibroblasts. I don´t want to reprogram the cells to iPS, the goal is differentiate directly to muscle.
the best way should be infect the cells with lentivirus or adenovirus carrying MyoD gene, even better using an inducible gene expression likewise MyoD-ER inducible with tamoxifen!!!!
Thank you, I appreciate you answer. So, it sounds not very different from the classical papers that first found MyoD1. May I ask which plasmid you reccomend? Is that any one commercially available?
Actually for the paper Tedesco et al., 2012 published in Science Trasl Med they used MyoD-ER in order to ameliorate human derived iPS myogenic property. Thus I think you can easily get the same MyoD-ER plasmid from Addgene.
