TLDR
The data allow the correlation of the differential expression of pro and/or active forms of M MP-2 and MMP-9 with different stages of the degeneration-regeneration process: MMP -9 expression is related to the inflammatory response and probably to the activation of satellite cells, whereas Mmp-2 activation is concomitant with the regeneration of new myofibers.

Satellite Cells and the Muscle Stem Cell Niche

TL;DR: For the last half century, the advance of molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics has greatly improved the understanding of skeletal muscle biology, with focuses on functions of satellite cells and their niche during the process ofletal muscle regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Extracellular Matrix in Adaptation of Tendon and Skeletal Muscle to Mechanical Loading

TL;DR: Full understanding of these physiological processes will provide the physiological basis for understanding of tissue overloading and injury seen in both tendons and muscle with repetitive work and leisure time physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of the skeletal muscle extracellular matrix

TL;DR: The structure, composition, and mechanical properties of skeletal muscle ECM are reviewed; the cells that contribute to the maintenance of the ECMAreas for future study are proposed; and overview changes that occur with pathology are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aberrant repair and fibrosis development in skeletal muscle

TL;DR: The muscle provides a useful model for the regulation of tissue repair by the local microenvironment, showing interplay among muscle-specific stem cells, inflammatory cells, fibroblasts and extracellular matrix components of the mammalian wound-healing response.

Electrophoretic transfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose sheets: procedure and some applications.

TL;DR: A method has been devised for the electrophoretic transfer of proteins from polyacrylamide gels to nitrocellulose sheets that results in quantitative transfer of ribosomal proteins from gels containing urea.

Satellite cell of skeletal muscle fibers.

TL;DR: In the course of an electron microscopic study of the peripheral region of the skeletal muscle fiber of the frog, the presence of certain cells, intimately associated with the muscle fiber, have been observed which the authors have chosen to call satellite cells.

Matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in connective tissue remodeling.

TL;DR: Latency is overcome by physical, chemical, and enzymatic treatments that separate the cysteine residue from the zinc Expression of the metalloproteinases is switched on by a variety of agents acting through regulatory elements of the gene, particularly the AP‐1 binding site.
