Nitric oxide‐dependence of satellite stem cell activation and quiescence on normal skeletal muscle fibers
20 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Satellite cells (quiescent precursors in normal adult skeletal muscle) are activated for growth and regeneration. Signaling by nitric oxide (NO) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) during activation has not been examined in a model that can distinguish quiescent from activated satellite cells. We tested the hypothesis that NO and HGF are required to regulate activation using the single-fiber culture model. In...
