The Body's Secret Army
Your body has a secret army: stem cells.
Brendan Evano, a researcher at the Institut Pasteur, explains: these miraculous cells repair your organs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
They can replicate indefinitely, differentiate into various types of tissue, and detect damage to repair it.
Today, they’re already saving lives: leukemias treated with bone marrow transplants, regenerated corneas…
But the real revolution is just beginning.
Brendan and his team are studying how to correct genetic errors in your stem cells to fight the most severe muscle diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The goal: to rebuild healthy muscle, restore your mobility, and give you a better quality of life.
Every experiment brings them closer to a future where these diseases will no longer be a death sentence.
