| 1. | CD34 and Myf5 markers specifically define the majority of quiescent satellite cells.
|
| 2. | Activated satellite cells initially proliferate as skeletal myoblasts before undergoing myogenic differentiation.
|
| 3. | Satellite cells are described as quiescent myoblasts and neighbor muscle fiber sarcolemma.
|
| 4. | Finally, the muscle fibers that form later arise from satellite cells.
|
| 5. | In response to mechanical strain, satellite cells become " activated ".
|
| 6. | Satellite cell activation has also been demonstrated on an ultrastructural level following exercise.
|
| 7. | MGF expression results in activation of satellite cells and hypertrophy.
|
| 8. | HGF testing is also used to identify active satellite cells.
|
| 9. | Satellite cells are crucial for skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise.
|
| 10. | In addition, satellite cells have the capability to also differentiate into bone or fat.
