Finally, the muscle fibers that form later arise from satellite cells.

In addition, satellite cells have the capability to also differentiate into bone or fat.

Little is known of the regulation of satellite cells.

In response to mechanical strain, satellite cells become activated.

Satellite cells express a number of distinctive genetic markers.

However, Pax7 is expressed prominently after satellite cell differentiation.

Satellite cell activation has also been demonstrated on an ultrastructural level following exercise.

Satellite cells are normally activated upon injury or exercise.

HGF testing is also used to identify active satellite cells.

Satellite cell activation is measured by the extent of proliferation and differentiation.

Satellite cells are crucial for skeletal muscle adaption to exercise.

Without myostatin, he said, the satellite cells might be so active building muscle that they become depleted early in life.

Activation is followed by proliferation and fusion with other satellite cells to form new myotubes.

Myoblasts that do not form muscle fibers dedifferentiate back into satellite cells.

A recent paper indicated that myostatin might normally function to keep satellite cells quiescent.

The effects of ergogenic compounds on myogenic satellite cells.

CD34 and Myf5 markers specifically define the majority of quiescent satellite cells.

There is some research indicating that satellite cells are negatively regulated by a protein called myostatin.

Other studies, however, have shown that creatine increases the activity of satellite cells, which make muscle hypertrophy possible.

However, Gpx1 -/- mice develop cataracts at an early age and exhibit defects in muscle satellite cell proliferation.

These parts include satellite cells, Schwann cells, and sensory neurons.

Satellite cells are responsible for muscle fiber regeneration.

The field of satellite cell biology suffers from the same technical difficulties as other stem cell fields.

Human studies have shown that both high resistance training and endurance training have yielded an increased number of satellite cells.

Satellite cells are small mononuclear cells that abut the muscle fiber.
