Myogenic Satellite Cells

Adult skeletal muscle has a extrodinary ability to regenerate following myotrauma. Because adult myofibers are terminally transformed, the regeneration of skeletal muscle is more dependent on a small population of resident cells termed satellite cells. Although this population of cells was identified 40 years ago, little is known regarding the regulation of the satellite cell. Satellite cells, occupying an complete niche within the adult muscle tissue, are considered bona fide stem cells with both stem-like properties and myogenic activities. Indeed, satellite cells keep the ability to both maintain the quiescence in uninjured muscles and to be promptly activated in response to growth, re-engaging the cell cycle.
