Mechanical Loading. Physiol Rev 84: 649–698, 2004; 10.1152/physrev. 00031.2003.—The …

It is generally accepted that the primary mechanisms governing skeletal muscle hypertrophy
are satellite cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation. Specific growth factors and …

This paper looks at the effects of aging on the response of skeletal muscle to exercise from
the perspective of the behavior of muscle precursor cells (widely termed satellite cells or …

Over the last 30 years there has been considerable interest in the use of functional electrical
stimulation (FES) to restore movement to the limbs of paralyzed patients. Spinal cord injury …

This review focuses on recent developments in the field of muscle biology that reflect on the
problem of toughness in beef. Meat science has shown that post-mortem processing can …

Despite the ravages of long term denervation there is structural and ultrastructural evidence
for survival of muscle fibers in mammals, with some fibers surviving at least ten months in …

Thedy/dymouse is an animal model for human merosin-negative congenital muscular
dystrophy (CMD), which has been reported to have reduced or no expression of the …

With respect to diverse clinical applications for muscle regeneration, this paper discusses
the latest markers for identifying skeletal muscle precursor cells in regenerating muscle, the …

We compared the time course of myogenic events in vivo in regenerating whole muscle
grafts in MyoD (−/−) and control BALB/c adult mice using immunohistochemistry and …

Skeletal muscle regeneration occurs by the activation, proliferation and fusion of muscle
precursor cells (myoblasts) that usually lie in a satellite cell position on the surface of the …
