Background A number of membrane-anchored proteins are known to be released from cell
surface via ectodomain shedding. The cleavage and release of membrane proteins has …

Skeletal muscle development and growth is a complex process that involves the interaction
of muscle cells with their extracellular environment. Because muscle development involves …

Myogenic satellite cells are stem cells responsible for muscle growth and regeneration.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play significant roles in regulating numerous cellular processes. Two …

Satellite cells (SC) are a multipotential stem cell population responsible for facilitating
posthatch muscle fiber hypertrophy. The proliferation and differentiation of SC is sensitive to …

Muscle fiber number is determined around the time hatch with continued posthatch muscle
growth being mediated by the adult myoblast, satellite cell, population of cells. Satellite cells …

Bone formation is remarkable for the convergence in the activity of four major signalling
pathways, the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), hedgehog …

Glypican-1 is a cell membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan. It is composed of a core
protein with covalently attached glycosaminoglycan, and N-linked glycosylated (N …

The heparan sulfate proteoglycans have been shown to play essential roles in the
proliferation and differentiation of myogenic satellite cells. Myogenic regulatory factors …
