Abstract
Muscle cells and methods for using the muscle cells are provided. In one embodiment, the invention provides transplantable skeletal muscle cell compositions and their methods of use. In one embodiment, the muscle cells can be transplanted into patients having disorders characterized by insufficient cardiac function, e.g., congestive heart failure, in a subject by administering the skeletal myoblasts to the subject. The muscle cells can be autologous, allogeneic, or xenogeneic to the recipient.
