TL;DR: C-met receptor is present beneath the basal lamina on presumptive satellite cells in intact muscle and that c-met mRNA and protein are expressed by all myofiber-associated satellite cells from the time of explant through the course of activation, proliferation, and differentiation.

TL;DR: Examination of adult muscle fibers and their associated satellite cells in single myofiber cultures suggests that activated MyoD(-/-) satellite cells assume a phenotype that resembles in some ways a developmentally "stalled" cell compared to wildtype.

TL;DR: It is proposed that this subset of SP cells (satellite-SP cells), characterized by ABCG2, Syndecan-4, and Pax7 expression, constitutes a self-renewing muscle stem cell capable of generating both satellite cells and their myonuclear progeny in vivo.

TL;DR: Primary satellite cells are significantly more motile than myoblast cell lines, and that adhesion to laminin promotes primary cell motility more than fourfold over other substrates, suggesting that satellite cell migration in vivo may be more extensive than currently thought, and could be regulated by combinations of signals.

TL;DR: In addition to stimulating skeletal muscle growth and repair, Wnt7a/Fzd7 signaling increases the polarity and directional migration of myogenic progenitors and improves the efficacy of muscle stem cell therapy.
