Muscle stem cells, or satellite cells, are required for skeletal muscle maintenance, growth,
and repair. Following satellite cell activation, several factors drive asymmetric cell division to …

Stem cells provide an alternative curative intervention for the infarcted heart by
compensating for the cardiomyocyte loss subsequent to myocardial injury. The presence of …

Satellite cells play a central role in mediating the growth and regeneration of skeletal
muscle. However, whether satellite cells are stem cells, committed progenitors, or …

Muscle‐fiber loss is a characteristic of many progressive neuromuscular disorders. Over the
past decade, identification of a growing number of apoptosis‐associated factors and events …

The ability of axolotls to regenerate their limbs is almost legendary. In fact, urodeles such as
the axolotl are the only vertebrates that can regenerate multiple structures like their limbs …

Hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM) is a unique muscular disorder caused by
mutations in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase …

An important direction in chemical biology is the derivation of compounds that affect cellular
differentiation or its reversal. The fragmentation of multinucleate myofibers into viable …

Myogenic precursor cell (MPC) transplantation is a good strategy to introduce dystrophin
expression in muscles of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. Insulin‐like growth …

The trisubstituted purine myoseverin has been recently identified as a novel inhibitor of
microtubule assembly. To analyze the effects of modifying its heterocyclic skeleton, we …

In case of large injuries of skeletal muscles the pool of endogenous stem cells, ie, satellite
cells, might be not sufficient to secure proper regeneration. Such failure in reconstruction is …
