A genetic approach in the mouse has been used to examine how skeletal muscle stem cells are born, and how they acquire their identity. (eurosystemproject.eu)
Further research will focus on generating skeletal muscle stem cells that can respond to continuous injury and regenerate new muscle long - term using the team's new isolation and maturation strategy. (sciencedaily.com)
Using mouse skeletal muscle stem cells as a model, we show that accumulating transcripts specifying the myogenic program are not translated in quiescent satellite cells, but are repressed by the action of microRNAs and RNA binding proteins. (inmg.fr)
