Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Inhibition of Skeletal Muscle Regeneration Is Mediated by a Caspase-Dependent Stem Cell Response
7 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle is susceptible to injury following trauma, neurological dysfunction, and genetic diseases. Skeletal muscle homeostasis is maintained by a pronounced regenerative capacity, which includes the recruitment of stem cells. Chronic exposure to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) triggers a muscle wasting reminiscent of cachexia. To better understand the effects of TNF upon muscle homeostasis and stem...
