Clonetics® Diabetic type I and type II Human Skeletal Muscle Myoblasts (HSMM) are isolated from donors diagnosed with either diabetes type I or diabetes type II.

Diseased cells are tested in the same SkGM®-2 skeletal muscle growth media as the normal cells allowing for easy comparisons between diseased and normal tissue.

Clonetics® Diabetic donor HSMMs are tested are guaranteed to differentiate to form multinucleated myotubes in culture which stain positive for desmin. All cells test negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C are not detected for all donors and/or cell lots.

Applications: Cellular development, differentiation, insulin uptake or resistance, tissue repair, metabolic effects of diabetes, myotube development.
