Muscle injuries are one of the most common traumas occurring in sports. Despite their
clinical importance, few clinical studies exist on the treatment of these traumas. Thus, the …

Growth, repair, and regeneration of adult skeletal muscle depends on the persistence of
satellite cells: muscle stem cells resident beneath the basal lamina that surrounds each …

Almost 30 years have passed since the term 'tissue engineering'was created to represent a
new concept that focuses on the regeneration of neotissues from cells with the support of …

The muscle satellite cell was first described and actually named on the basis of its anatomic
location under the basement membrane surrounding each myofiber. For many years …

Testosterone supplementation increases skeletal muscle mass and decreases fat mass;
however, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that testosterone …

Muscle injury induces strong changes in muscle cells and extracellular matrix. Muscle
regeneration after injury has similarities to muscle development during embryogenesis and …

Cardiomyocyte regeneration is limited in adult life. Thus, the identification of a putative
source of cardiomyocyte progenitors is of great interest to provide a usable model in vitro …

Skeletal Muscle: Form and Function, Second Edition, provides readers with a detailed
understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and …
