In mature skeletal muscle, satellite cells are usually present in a dormant state. Upon stimulation after muscle injury, satellite cells are rapidly activated and proliferate repeatedly.

Feodor Price grew human skeletal muscle organoids from myoblasts, which differentiated into mature muscle cells and de-differentiated into expandable and novel satellite-like cells. In this microscopy ...

Our skeletal muscles, which link to bones and enable us to move, have a remarkable ability to regenerate after they've suffered an injury. Scientists have now developed a cutting edge microscopy tool ...
