Differential requirement for satellite cells during overload-induced muscle hypertrophy in growing versus mature mice

Abstract Background Pax7+ satellite cells are required for skeletal muscle fiber growth during post-natal development in mice. Satellite cell-mediated myonuclear accretion also appears to persist into early adulthood. Given the important role of satellite cells during muscle development, we hypothes...
