Stem cell niche is a specialized and dynamic microenvironment around the stem cells which
plays a critical role in maintaining the stemness properties of stem cells. Over the years …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive and fatal muscle-wasting disease
caused by DYSTROPHIN deficiency. Cell therapy using muscle stem cells (MuSCs) is a …

Skeletal muscle is endowed with a remarkable capacity for regeneration, primarily due to the
reserve pool of muscle resident satellite cells. The satellite cell is the physiologically …

Adult muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are critical for muscle homeostasis and regeneration, and
their behavior relies on a finely regulated niche made of specific extracellular matrix (ECM) …

Childhood growth and its sensitivity to dietary protein is reviewed within a Protein-Stat model
of growth regulation. The coordination of growth of muscle and stature is a combination of …

The transplantation of muscle progenitor cells (MuPCs) differentiated from human induced
pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is a promising approach for treating skeletal muscle …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) arises from neural crest cells that migrate, proliferate, and
differentiate into enteric neurons and glia within the intestinal wall. Many extracellular matrix …

Muscular dystrophy is a heterogenous group of hereditary muscle disorders caused by
mutations in the genes responsible for muscle development, and is generally defined by a …

In skeletal muscle, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling can either support the complete
regeneration of injured muscle or facilitate pathologic fibrosis and muscle degeneration …

Satellite cells (SCs), the resident adult stem cells of skeletal muscle, are required for tissue
repair throughout life. While many signaling pathways are known to control SC self-renewal …
