TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: Co-culture experiments supported the hypothesis that medium conditioned by fiber-containing explants can stimulate myoblast proliferation, and suggested a possible mechanism for the regulation of muscle fiber formation.

TL;DR: It is shown that the first myogenic cells which appear in the mouse myotome, and can be cultured from it, accumulate muscle structural proteins in their cytoplasm without expressing detectable levels of myogenin protein (although the message is clearly accumulated).

TL;DR: Notably, sarcomeric myosin expression is induced by both TPA and UO126 but is abrogated by the p38 inhibitor, which indicates a pivotal role for p38 in controlling the myogenic program.

TL;DR: Satellite cells were isolated from skeletal muscles of adult normal and dystrophic mice by sequential digestion of tissue fragments with collagenase, hyaluronidase and trypsin and are able to differentiate in culture and show appreciable differences as compared to their normal counterparts.
