Research from Stanford University, Medical Department reveals new findings on stem cell research
January 5th, 2009
According to recent research from the United States, "Adult muscle satellite cells have a principal role in postnatal skeletal muscle growth and regeneration(1). Satellite cells reside as quiescent cells underneath the basal lamina that surrounds muscle fibres(2) and respond to damage by giving rise to transient amplifying cells ( progenitors) and myoblasts that fuse with myofibres." "Recent experiments showed that, in contrast to cultured myoblasts, satellite cells freshly isolated(3-5) or satellite cells derived from the transplantation of one intact myofibre(6) contribute robustly to muscle repair. However, because satellite cells are known to be...
