TLDR
Results suggest that purified pericytes and endothelium-related cells demonstrate high myogenic potential in culture and in vivo, and suggest their ultimate origin in blood vessel walls.

An integral program for tissue renewal and regeneration: Wnt signaling and stem cell control

TL;DR: The widespread importance of Wnt signaling in driving tissue renewal has been revealed by the identification of Axin2 and Lgr5, genes expressed in cells that are responding to Wnt signals, and this crucial role in stem cell self renewal is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

An absolute requirement for Pax7-positive satellite cells in acute injury-induced skeletal muscle regeneration

TL;DR: It is found that engineered genetic ablation of Pax7+ cells completely blocks regenerative myogenesis either following injury to the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle or after transplantation of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles into nude mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Building Muscle: Molecular Regulation of Myogenesis

TL;DR: This article provides a holistic overview of the different stages and modes of myogenesis with an emphasis on the underlying signals, molecular switches, and genetic networks.
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.

Multilineage Potential of Adult Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

TL;DR: Adult stem cells isolated from marrow aspirates of volunteer donors could be induced to differentiate exclusively into the adipocytic, chondrocytic, or osteocytic lineages.

Multilineage cells from human adipose tissue: implications for cell-based therapies.

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that a human lipoaspirate contains multipotent cells and may represent an alternative stem cell source to bone marrow-derived MSCs.

Marrow Stromal Cells as Stem Cells for Nonhematopoietic Tissues

TL;DR: Marrow stromal cells present an intriguing model for examining the differentiation of stem cells and have several characteristics that make them potentially useful for cell and gene therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and functional properties of murine hematopoietic stem cells that are replicating in vivo.

TL;DR: It is discovered that display of Hoechst fluorescence simultaneously at two emission wavelengths revealed a small and distinct subset of whole bone marrow cells that had phenotypic markers of multipotential HSC, which were shown in competitive repopulation experiments to contain the vast majority of HSC activity from murine bone marrow and to be enriched at least 1,000-fold for in vivo reconstitution activity.
