Age-Related Changes in Speed and Mechanism of Adult Skeletal Muscle Stem Cell Migration
3 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
Skeletal muscle undergoes a progressive age-related loss in mass and function. Preservation of muscle mass depends in part on satellite cells, the resident stem cells of skeletal muscle. Reduced satellite cell function may contribute to the age-associated decrease in muscle mass. Here, we focused on characterizing the effect of age on satellite cell migration. We report that aged satellite cells migrate at less...
