"Derivation of Myogenic Progenitors Directly From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells"

Lab alumnist Tohru Hosoyama has recently published a very nice study entitled, "Derivation of Myogenic Progenitors Directly From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Using a Sphere-Based Culture" in the journal, Stem Cells Translational Medicine.  This is work from Tohru's second postdoctoral fellowship with mentor Dr. Masatoshi Suzuki.  Tohru is now an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Surgery and Clinical Sciences, Yamaguchi University, Japan.  It has always been a pleasure to follow Tohru's work, which is both innovative and impactful.
