J. Cell. Biol. 157:2002;571-577 The first demonstration of the presence of an endothelial-myogenic progenitor, co-expressing endothelial and myogenic markers and able to differentiate into skeletal muscle in normal adult skeletal muscle. This work suggests that, in addition to blood-born cells, local endothelial progenitors may serve as a supplementary source of myogenic cells during muscle regeneration.

The meso-angioblast: a multipotent, self-renewing cell that originates from the dorsal aorta and differentiates into most mesodermal tissues. Development. 129:2002;2773-2783 This study led through in ovo transplantation and in vitro clonal analysis to the identification of the mesoangioblast as a novel type of mesodermal stem cell. Either freshly isolated cells or their clonal progeny (after in vitro expansion) gave rise to differentiated cells of most mesodermal tissues when transplanted in a chick embryo in ovo.

Cell. 3:2002;533-545 An elegant and rigorous analysis by retroviral marking of the clonal origin of limb myogenic and endothelial cells. Through the use of a retroviral library that allows unambiguous identification of the clonal progeny of a single founder cell, this study shows for the first time in vivo the existence of common myogenic/endothelial progenitors in the paraxial mesoderm.

Genesis. 35:2003;153-159 Through Cre-lox recombination in vivo, this work shows for the first time an important contribution of flk1+ progenitors but not of Tie2+ progenitors to the histogenesis of skeletal and cardiac muscle in the developing mouse fetus. A significant fraction of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells appear to derive from ancestors that transiently expressed flk1 during their earlier developmental history.

Cell. 113:2003;841-852 An intriguing report, linking for the first time Wnt signaling to myogenic specification in the adult regenerating muscle. This work also shows that CD45+ adult stem cells respond to Wnts and are inhibited by Wnt antagonists much as their somitic counterparts.

Genes Dev. 17:2003;380-393 A beautiful study showing the relative potency of Tal1 and Flk1 in dictating the choice between hematopoietic, endothelial and smooth muscle fate. By knocking in the Tal1 gene into homozygous and heterozygous flk1 mutant embryos, the authors show partial rescue of hematopoiesis and angiogenenesis and the relative balance between these processes.

Cell therapy of alpha sarcoglycan null dystrophic mice through intra-arterial delivery of mesoangioblasts. Science. 301:2003;487-492 This study reports the first successful cell therapy of a murine form of muscular dystrophy through the use of mesoangioblasts. Both wild type and dystrophic, genetically corrected mesoangioblasts, dramatically ameliorate morphology and function of the mouse leg muscles when injected through the femoral artery. Widespread distribution through the capillary network allows an even distribution of donor cells and rescue of a large number of fibers.
