Skeletal muscle mass increases during postnatal development through a process of hypertrophy, ie enlargement of individual muscle fibers, and a similar process may be …
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, imposes a dramatic burden on individuals and society. The development of preventive and therapeutic strategies …
Mammalian cells exhibit remarkable diversity in cell size, but the factors that regulate establishment and maintenance of these sizes remain poorly understood. This is especially …
Recent loss-of-function studies show that satellite cell depletion does not promote sarcopenia or unloading-induced atrophy, and does not prevent regrowth. Although …
Background Pax7+ satellite cells are required for skeletal muscle fiber growth during post- natal development in mice. Satellite cell-mediated myonuclear accretion also appears to …
Most cells in the body are mononuclear whereas skeletal muscle fibres are uniquely multinuclear. The nuclei of muscle fibres (myonuclei) are usually situated peripherally which …
Satellite cell-mediated myonuclear accretion is thought to be required for skeletal muscle fiber hypertrophy, and even drive hypertrophy by preceding growth. Recent studies in …

Background The andropause is associated with declines in serum testosterone (T), loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), and frailty. Two major interventions purported to offset …
Multinucleated skeletal muscle cells need to acquire additional nuclei through fusion with activated skeletal muscle stem cells when responding to both developmental and adaptive …
