The sturdier sex? Study by Pittsburgh scientists
finds female stem cells work better

• 9-Apr-2007
• Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC
• In this study, Dr. Huard's team injected female
  and male muscle-derived stem cells into
  dystrophic mice and then measured the cells'
  ability to regenerate dystrophin-expressing
  muscle fibers.

11

• They then calculated the regeneration index (RI)
  - the ratio of dystrophin-positive fibers per
  100,000 donor cells.
• Only 10male populations of implanted stem cells
  had an RI over 200.
• In contrast, 40 of the female stem cell
  populations had an RI higher than 200,
• and 60 percent of the female populations of stem
  cells had an RI higher than the mean RI of the
  male cells (95).
