Skeletal muscle damaged by injury or by degenerative diseases such as muscular
dystrophy is able to regenerate new muscle fibers. Regeneration mainly depends upon …

Muscle satellite cells are a stem cell population required for postnatal skeletal muscle
development and regeneration, accounting for 2-5% of sublaminal nuclei in muscle fibers. In …

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 …

Current advances in stem cell research and innovative biological approaches in the field of
tissue engineering and regenerative medicine could eventually translate into prospective …

Importance of the field: Mesenchymal adult stem cells have properties that make them
attractive for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. They are inherently …

The proper functioning of tissues and organs depends on their ability to self-renew and
repair. Some of the tissues, like epithelia, renew almost constantly while in the others this …

Skeletal muscle has been recognized as an essential source of progenitor or satellite cells,
which are primarily responsible for muscle regeneration. Recently, muscle has also been …

Muscle tissue represents an abundant, accessible, and replenishable source of adult stem
cells for cell-based tissue and genetic engineering. A population of cells isolated from …

Three populations of myogenic cells were isolated from normal mouse skeletal muscle
based on their adhesion characteristics and proliferation behaviors. Although two of these …

Skeletal muscle is a highly specialized tissue composed of non-dividing, multi-nucleated
muscle fibres that contract to generate force in a controlled and directed manner. Skeletal …
