A team of international researchers led by Tomas Stolker in the Netherlands has imaged a young gas giant exoplanet near a 12-million-year-old star. The planet is orbiting a star whose planet formation ...

Recreating artificial solar eclipses in space could help astronomers decipher the inner workings of our sun much quicker than ...

Cells can enter a third state only under certain conditions, however, and researchers are still not sure how they can continue to function after the death of the organism.

Most of the proliferated satellite cells will then differentiate into myoblasts and contribute to myogenesis by undergoing heterotypic fusion (the fusion between a myoblast and myofiber) or homotypic ...

After injury, satellite cells undergo several rounds of proliferation followed by their differentiation into myoblasts. These myoblasts once again fuse with each other and to injured myofibers to ...

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that transcriptomic profiling of muscle satellite cells in peripheral artery disease (PAD) would identify damage-related pathways contributing to skeletal muscle myopathy.

In adults, an army of satellite cells is responsible for muscle growth and regeneration. In response to activation signals, satellite cells proliferate, differentiate and fuse to repair damaged ...

In mice, conditional loss of Myo10 from muscle-resident stem cells, known as satellite cells, severely impairs postnatal muscle regeneration. Furthermore, the muscle fusion proteins Myomaker and ...

Figure 1. c-Abl is expressed in myoblasts and activated during muscle regeneration. (A) Pax7 and c-Abl nuclear expression are correlated. C2C12 cells were differentiated the indicated time and then ...
