Effects of skeletal muscle regeneration on the proliferation potential of satellite cells

Effects of skeletal muscle regeneration on the proliferation potential of satellite cells

E Schultz et al. Mech Ageing Dev. 1985 Apr.

Abstract

Skeletal muscle satellite cells are myogenic stem cells that function to repair damaged muscle fibers. Participation of satellite cells in a regeneration response following muscle injury results in a significant reduction in their cumulative proliferation potential. The magnitude of the reduction is proportional to the number of regeneration responses in which the cells participate.
