TLDR
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.
Abstract
Adult skeletal muscle in mammals is a stable tissue under normal circumstances but has remarkable ability to repair after injury. Skeletal muscle regeneration is a highly orchestrated process invol...

Autophagy maintains stemness by preventing senescence

TL;DR: It is reported that basal autophagy is essential to maintain the stem-cell quiescent state in mice and revealed to be a decisive stem- cell-fate regulator, with implications for fostering muscle regeneration in sarcopenia.

NAD+ repletion improves mitochondrial and stem cell function and enhances life span in mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated the importance of the amount of the oxidized form of cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its effect on mitochondrial activity as a pivotal switch to modulate muscle SC (MuSC) senescence and it is demonstrated that NR delays senescences of neural SCs and melanocyteSCs and increases mouse life span.

Sarcopenia: Aging-Related Loss of Muscle Mass and Function.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the aging-related structural changes and mechanisms at cellular and subcellular levels underlying changes in the individual motor unit: specifically, the perikaryon of the α-motoneuron, its neuromuscular junction(s), and the muscle fibers that it innervates.

Prevention of muscular dystrophy in mice by CRISPR/Cas9–mediated editing of germline DNA

TL;DR: A mutation that causes muscular dystrophy in mice can be corrected by genome editing, which prevents the disease from developing, and this proof of concept sets the stage for applying genome editing to specific cell types involved in the disease.

Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic and adult fibroblast cultures by defined factors.

TL;DR: Induction of pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4, under ES cell culture conditions is demonstrated and iPS cells, designated iPS, exhibit the morphology and growth properties of ES cells and express ES cell marker genes.

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.

Exosome-mediated transfer of mRNAs and microRNAs is a novel mechanism of genetic exchange between cells

TL;DR: It is shown that exosomes contain both mRNA and microRNA, which can be delivered to another cell, and can be functional in this new location, and it is proposed that this RNA is called “exosomal shuttle RNA” (esRNA).

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Somatic Cells

TL;DR: This article showed that OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28 factors are sufficient to reprogram human somatic cells to pluripotent stem cells that exhibit the essential characteristics of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Notch Signaling: Cell Fate Control and Signal Integration in Development

TL;DR: Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.
