Asymmetric Distribution of Primary Cilia Allocates Satellite Cells for Self-Renewal
5 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Regeneration of vertebrate skeletal muscles requires satellite cells, a population of stem cells that are quiescent in normal conditions and divide, differentiate, and self-renew upon activation triggered by exercise, injury, and degenerative diseases. Satellite cell self-renewal is essential for long-term tissue homeostasis, and previous work has identified a number of external cues that control this process....
