Human skeletal muscle fibroblasts stimulate in vitro myogenesis and in vivo muscle regeneration
30 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: Accumulation of skeletal muscle extracellular matrix is an unfavourable characteristic of many muscle diseases, muscle injury and sarcopenia. The extent of cross-talk between fibroblasts, as the source of matrix protein, and satellite cells in humans is unknown. We studied this in human muscle biopsies and cell-culture studies. We observed a strong stimulation of myogenesis by human fibroblasts in...
