This invention relates to a method for repairing and reconstructing a damaged or non-functional muscle, in particular to a method and a tool kit using in vitro primed motor endplate-expressing muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) to promote innervation of the damaged or non-functional muscle using an agent without any genetic manipulation. This method is particularly useful for repairing or reconstructing damaged or non-functional head and neck muscles, and urinary detrusor bladder muscle.

A novel omega-3 fatty acid/lipid-based nutraceutical composition and a method of optimizing said omega-3 fatty acid/lipid-based nutraceutical composition. The nutraceutical composition and method is based on the insight that different forms of high omega-3 fatty acid lipids (e.g. triglyceride form, ethyl ester form, free fatty acid form, phospholipid form) have different molecular modes and levels of action. Specifically, the phospholipid form is likely more effective at promoting membrane fluidity and permeability, while the free fatty acid form is likely more effective at regulating cell receptors, such as the PPARa receptors, that are responsible for various metabolic effects including lipid metabolism. The desirability of producing omega-3 compositions that may act synergistically and thus more robustly to improve health and to some extent mimic markers of life extension such as shown by caloric restriction, along with specific optimization methods, markers, and compositions are taught.
