The effects of ergogenic compounds on
myogenic satellite cells.
Not exact matches
Furthermore, the reversible nature of microRNA dependent silencing mechanisms may underlie the rapid activation of
satellite cells that are poised to enter the
myogenic program.
Abstract We discovered that a subset of
satellite cells in skeletal muscle are self - renewing stem cells that give rise to
myogenic progenitors through asymmetric apical - basal cell divisions.
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.
He presented results from both SMA mouse models and patients that demonstrated SMN depletion results in muscle - intrinsic defects such as reduced
satellite cell number, a delay in the
myogenic program, reduced myoblast fusion, and molecular homeostasis disruption.
