Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular and Molecular Regulation of Muscle Regeneration

TL;DR: Recent evidence supports the possible contribution of adult stem cells in the muscle regeneration process and in particular, bone marrow-derived and muscle-derived stem cells contribute to new myofiber formation and to the satellite cell pool after injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pax7 is required for the specification of myogenic satellite cells.

TL;DR: The paired box transcription factor Pax7 was isolated by representational difference analysis as a gene specifically expressed in cultured satellite cell-derived myoblasts and it was demonstrated that satellite cells and muscle-derived stem cells represent distinct cell populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

PRDM16 controls a brown fat/skeletal muscle switch

TL;DR: It is shown by in vivo fate mapping that brown, but not white, fat cells arise from precursors that express Myf5, a gene previously thought to be expressed only in the myogenic lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

MyoD or Myf-5 is required for the formation of skeletal muscle

TL;DR: Observations suggest that either Myf-5 or MyoD is required for the determination of skeletal myoblasts, their propagation, or both during embryonic development and indicate that these factors play, at least in part, functionally redundant roles in myogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Satellite Cells and the Muscle Stem Cell Niche

TL;DR: For the last half century, the advance of molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics has greatly improved the understanding of skeletal muscle biology, with focuses on functions of satellite cells and their niche during the process ofletal muscle regeneration.
