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 …

Human skeletal muscle is a highly heterogeneous tissue, able to adapt to the different
challenges that may be placed upon it. When overloaded, a muscle adapts by increasing its …

We applied K-means cluster analysis to test the hypothesis that muscle-specific factors
known to modulate protein synthesis and satellite cell activity would be differentially …

Mechano growth factor (MGF), an isoform of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), is
recognized as a typical mechanically sensitive growth factor and has been shown to play an …

Although the boundaries of skeletal muscle size are fundamentally determined by genetics,
this dynamic tissue also demonstrates great plasticity in response to environmental and …

Loss of muscle mass and strength is a major problem during aging and the expression of
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF), a member of the IGF-1 (insulin-like Growth Factor 1) super …

The effects of muscle splice variants of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on proliferation and
differentiation were studied in human primary muscle cell cultures from healthy subjects as …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate studies that have assessed the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone
(DHEA) supplementation on body composition and physical performance in older adults …

Transplantation of muscle precursor cells is of therapeutic interest for focal skeletal muscular
diseases. However, major limitations of cell transplantation are the poor survival, expansion …

Efficient skeletal muscle repair and regeneration require coordinated remodeling of the
extracellular matrix (ECM). Previous reports have indicated that matrix metalloproteinases …
