Myosatellite cells, also known as satellite cells, muscle stem cells or MuSCs, are small multipotent cells with very little cytoplasm found in mature muscle. Satellite cells are precursors to skeletal muscle cells, able to give rise to satellite cells or differentiated skeletal muscle cells.
May 23, 2021 · Satellite cells are multipotent stem cells of the skeletal muscle tissue, and they play a central role in the growth, maintenance, and repair of the muscles. These self-renewing cells are found between the sarcolemma and basement membrane of muscle fibers and are quiescent in most healthy, adult muscle tissue.

Oct 18, 2021 · Satellite cells are a heterogeneous group of cells that includes stem cells and skeletal muscle progenitor cells. Each skeletal muscle fiber has its own pool of satellite cells that remain inactive until the muscle is damaged.

Mar 3, 2016 · Satellite cells are the first in line for muscle regeneration, and so they are the most promising target in a cell-based therapy for muscle wasting disorders. As shown throughout this review, they have numerous advantages such as easy identification, self-renewal, and myogenic differentiation, which is well understood, and they have been ...

Satellite cells, surrounding myofibers, are considered the primary stem cells in adult skeletal muscle playing a central role in tissue growth and regeneration [ 5 - 7 ]. These undifferentiated cells are maintained under quiescent conditions in healthy muscles, being able to repristinate their proliferative activity upon proper stimulation.

Jul 1, 2015 · Muscle satellite cells are a heterogeneous population with a small subset of muscle stem cells, termed satellite stem cells. Under homeostatic conditions all satellite cells are poised for activation by stimuli such as physical trauma or growth signals.
Oct 18, 2021 · Satellite cells are skeletal muscle stem cells that are largely quiescent. They are activated upon muscle damage and differentiate into muscle cells or return to quiescence.
