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

Research focusing on the canonical adult myogenic progenitor, the skeletal muscle satellite
cell, is still an ever-growing field 46 years from their initial description. Recent publications …

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 …

Muscle satellite cells have long been considered a distinct myogenic lineage responsible for
postnatal growth, repair, and maintenance of skeletal muscle. Recent studies in mice …

Growth, repair, and regeneration of adult skeletal muscle depends on the persistence of
satellite cells: muscle stem cells resident beneath the basal lamina that surrounds each …

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 the chief contributor to skeletal muscle growth and regeneration. The study
of mouse satellite cells has accelerated in recent years due to technical advancements in …

Identification of human satellite cells that fulfill muscle stem cell criteria is an unmet need in
regenerative medicine. This hurdle limits understanding how closely muscle stem cell …

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 …
