Tissue Donation for Myoblast Culture

March 1, 2019 updated by: Felicia Lane, University of California, Irvine
Analyze human skeletal muscle and learn more about the ability of adult muscle to produce myoblasts (young muscle cells).

Detailed Description

Study the ability of healthy human skeletal muscle to produce myoblasts, and to determine how many cells would be needed to regenerate a certain section of injured muscle. As part of this research, we hope to gain a better understanding of the effect of age on muscle and how normal skeletal muscle can regenerate itself by producing myoblasts. The information gathered from this study will be specifically used in future research for treating Anal Incontinence.

  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Tissue Donation
This study will involve females over 18 who are scheduled to undergo elective surgery. These patients will be screened for participation in this study, which will only involve the collection of discarded tissue.
Other: Tissue Donation
Females over 18 who are scheduled to undergo elective surgery will have discarded tissue collected.

Measure Description
Time Frame
cell expansion
Time Frame: weekly
The goal of this pilot study is to obtain small amounts of human skeletal muscle that would normally be discarded during gynecologic surgery and instead conserve this tissue for laboratory analysis.
