Satellite cells, originating in the embryonic dermamyotome, reside beneath the myofibre of
mature adult skeletal muscle and constitute the tissue‐specific stem cell population. Recent …

Muscle stem cells facilitate the long-term regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. This self-
renewing population of satellite cells has only recently been defined through genetic and …

Muscle satellite cells have been shown to be a heterogeneous population of committed
myogenic progenitors and noncommitted stem cells. This hierarchical composition of …

Satellite cells are dormant progenitors located at the periphery of skeletal myofibers that can
be triggered to proliferate for both self-renewal and differentiation into myogenic cells. In …

Satellite cells are unipotent stem cells involved in muscle regeneration. However, the
skeletal muscle microenvironment exerts a dominant influence over stem cell function. The …

Postnatal muscle growth and repair is supported by satellite cells—myogenic progenitors
positioned between the myofiber basal lamina and plasma membrane. In adult muscles …

Muscle stem cells in developmental and regenerative myogenes... : Current Opinion in Clinical
Nutrition & Metabolic Care Muscle stem cells in developmental and regenerative myogenesis …

Cell‐based therapies for degenerative diseases of the musculature remain on the verge of
feasibility. Myogenic cells are relatively abundant, accessible, and typically harbor …

Since its discovery four decades ago, the satellite cell of skeletal muscle has been
implicated as the major source of myogenic cells involved in growth and repair of muscle …

Adult skeletal muscle contains an abundant and highly accessible population of muscle
stem and progenitor cells called satellite cells. The primary function of satellite cells is to …
