[Development in transplantation of the skeletal muscle myoblast].
OBJECTIVE
To review the research progress in transplantation of the skeletal muscle myoblast.


METHODS
The recently-published articles concerned with the myoblast transplantation were reviewed, including myoblast culture, modified transplant methods, preparation of the recipient, scaffold choice, and an influence of the recipient's immunity on the transplantation. How to improve the efficiency of the myoblast transplantation was also discussed.


RESULTS
The techniques of the myoblast transplantation were improved and transplantation efficiency was increased.


CONCLUSIONS
The transplantation of the skeletal muscle myoblast has a great potential value in clinical practice and a promising future in its clinical application.
