Abstract excerpt
Skeletal myoblasts grown in vitro and induced to differentiate either form differentiated multinucleated myotubes or give rise to quiescent, undifferentiated "reserve cells" that share several characteristics with muscle satellite cells. The mechanism of determination of reserve cells is poorly understood. We find that the expression level of the metalloprotease disintegrin ADAM12 is much higher in proliferating...
