Sentences with phrase «expressing muscle stem cell»

Not exact matches

«But if you have stem cells that are over expressing this protein TRAF6, they may proliferate longer and they may repair the muscle much more effectively.»

In normal mice, stem cells (pink) express dystrophin (green) and are able to easily generate new muscle fibers, but in the disease model, there is no dystrophin and the stem cells lose their sense of direction and have trouble generating new muscle fibers.

In the current study, Dr. Rudnicki and his team discovered that muscle stem cells also express the dystrophin protein, and without this protein, they produce ten-fold fewer muscle precursor cells, which in - turn generate fewer functional muscle fibres.

Perivascular cells, including pericytes in the smallest blood vessels (e.g., microvessels) and ARCs around larger ones, express mesenchymal stem cell markers and bear a multi-differentiation fate potential (differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, smooth muscle cells and myocytes) similar to that documented for MSCs in vitro.

Using inducible cell lineage tracing, we have found that early Pax7 - expressing somitic cells directly give rise to adult muscle stem cells, i.e. the satellite cells.
