Cell biology of the satellite cell

1993
Over the past several years the satellite cell in skeletal muscle has been the subject of renewed interest because of its potential importance in therapy for human muscle diseases due to genetic defects such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Griggs and Karpati, 1990; Partridge, 1991).

Proliferation conditions for human satellite cells The fractional content of satellite cells

APMIS, 2001
Primary satellite cell cultures have become an important tool as a model system for skeletal muscles. A common problem in human satellite cell culturing is fibroblast overgrowth. We combined N‐CAM (Leu19) immunocytochemical staining of satellite cells (Sc) with stereological methods to estimate the fraction of Sc in culture.

Satellite cells and training in the elderly

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 2003
In the present review, we describe the effects of ageing on human muscle fibres, underlining that each human muscle is unique, meaning that the phenotype becomes specifically changed upon ageing in different muscles, and that the satellite cells are key cells in the regeneration and growth of muscle fibres.

Satellite Cell Self-Renewal

2018
Adult skeletal muscle is endowed with regenerative potential through partially recapitulating the embryonic developmental program. Upon acute injury or in pathological conditions, quiescent muscle-resident stem cells, called satellite cells, become activated and give rise to myogenic progenitors that massively proliferate, differentiate, and fuse to ...

Plasticity of human satellite cells

Neuromuscular Disorders, 1993
Satellite cells were isolated from human quadriceps and masseter muscles and the phenotype of these cells examined in vitro. The expression of the different isoforms of the myosin heavy chains (embryonic, fetal, fast and slow) and light chain isoforms was used to assay myotube diversification.

Muscle Satellite Cells in Fish

2001
The characteristics of fish satellite cells in situ and in vitro are described. The in situ proliferation of satellite cells appears to be very low and therefore not easy to quantify. Differences in the in vitro proliferation capacities of satellite cells have been observed between species, but a large part of these differences could be related to ...

Skeletal muscle satellite cells

1994
Evidence now suggests that satellite cells constitute a class of myogenic cells that differ distinctly from other embryonic myoblasts. Satellite cells arise from somites and first appear as a distinct myoblast type well before birth. Satellite cells from different muscles cannot be functionally distinguished from one another and are able to provide ...

The Muscle Satellite Cell: A Review

1984
Since the first reports of satellite cells in 1961, considerable knowledge has accumulated concerning their phylogenetic distribution and their location, morphology, and function. There is no doubt that satellite cells are capable of undergoing mitosis and that they have considerable motility.

Satellite cell self-renewal

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2006
Regeneration of adult skeletal muscle involves the activation, proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells - quiescent tissue-specific stem cells occupying a specialised niche beneath the basal laminae of myofibres. Recent studies show that transplanted satellite cells both generate new muscle and undergo self-renewal.

Satellite cells in denervated muscles

Experientia, 1979
It is known that, in a denervated striated muscle, the satellite cells multiply by mitotic division. A liaison between these satellite cells and the Schwann cell in front of the post-synaptic membrane in denervated frog muscle has been observed. It is probable that such cell connections help in the subsistence of the Schwann cell in a denervated muscle.
