Satellos / U of T connection

Some of the work happening here at U of T is for Satellos - testing on human muscle tissue - sort of a big deal - "... to enable human testing of candidate drugs in a ‘personalized’ culture assay, we will incorporate induced pluripotent stem cells, derived from DMD patients, to create DMD MEndR, and then use this assay to evaluate Satellos’ lead therapeutic compounds."

Inside a Petri dish in a lab at the University of Toronto is a muscle — made from scratch using human stem cells — that has Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). ... “The DMD pre-clinical assays being developed by Gilbert and Stewart are a critical facet of the translational pipeline, making it possible to test current and future therapeutics in the context of human cells,” says Dr. Rudnicki [Satellos], senior scientist and director of the regenerative medicine program and Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.
