title: Growth of human muscle in tissue culture. An improved technique.
abstract: A method is described for the culture of normal and diseased human muscle cells. Cell outgrowth was obtained from 63/63 biopsies, and cells differentiated to form myotubes in 57/63 biopsies. The culture technique used readily permitted the growth of both normal and diseased human muscle cells.
