There are currently no effective medical methods for the treatment of dystrophies. However, there are several investigated therapeutic options for the treatment of muscular dystrophy, including gene therapy and transplantation of myogenic progenitor cells - cell therapy. The article discusses the achievements and difficulties on the way of introducing gene therapy into the clinical practice of treatment of muscular dystrophy. Special attention is paid to cell therapy, a promising direction of regenerative medicine, which gives hope for the cure of many previously incurable hereditary and acquired diseases. Potential sources of human somatic and embryonic stem/progenitor cells that can be used both as objects of application of genetic engineering methods and for cell therapy of muscular dystrophy are discussed. The problems that stand in the way of the successful introduction into clinical practice of the treatment of muscular dystrophy of human stem/progenitor cells are discussed.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В обзоре обсуждаются современные подходы к лечению мышечных дистрофий - гетерогенной группы нервно-мышечных заболеваний, которые проявляются в виде прогрессирующей слабости мышц, а также их частичной потери, что во многих случаях приводит к смерти. Эффективных медикаментозных способов лечения дистрофий в настоящее время нет. Однако существует несколько исследуемых терапевтических вариантов лечения мышечных дистрофий, включающих генную терапию и трансплантацию миогенных клеток-предшественников - клеточную терапию. В статье обсуждаются достижения и трудности на пути внедрения генной терапии в клиническую практику лечения мышечных дистрофий. Особое внимание уделено клеточной терапии, перспективному направлению регенеративной медицины, дающему надежду на излечение многих ранее не излечимых как наследственных, так и приобретенных заболеваний. Обсуждаются потенциальные источники соматических и эмбриональных стволовых/прогениторных клеток человека, которые могут использоваться как в качестве объектов приложения генно-инженерных методов, так и для клеточной терапии мышечных дистрофий. Обсуждаются проблемы, стоящие на пути успешного внедрения в клиническую практику лечения мышечных дистрофий стволовых/прогениторных клеток человека.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>myodystrophy</kwd><kwd>stem cells</kwd><kwd>gene therapy</kwd><kwd>cell therapy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>миодистрофия</kwd><kwd>стволовые клетки</kwd><kwd>генотерапия</kwd><kwd>клеточная терапия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>O’Brien K.F., Kunkel L.M.
