Ex vivo two-photon imaging of whole-mount skeletal muscles to visualize stem cell behavior
Summary: Quiescent skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are morphologically and functionally heterogeneous and exhibit different lengths of cellular extensions, which we call protrusions. Here, we present a protocol for ex vivo two-photon imaging of MuSCs in their native environment. We describe steps...
