Abstract excerpt
Muscle satellite cells are heterogeneous and present functional disparities, some of them behaving as multipotent stem cells. Yet their phenotype is obscure and their isolation remains elusive. The ability to purify stem cells from a wide variety of tissues by using Hoechst 33342 staining/FACS methods has permitted access to this category of cells (side population, or SP) in a manner independent of antibodies....
