Satellite cells fail to contribute to muscle repair but are functional in Pompe disease (glycogenosis type II)
Abstract Pompe disease, which is due to acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency, is characterized by skeletal muscle dysfunction attributed to the accumulation of glycogen-filled lysosomes and autophagic buildup. Despite the extensive tissue damages, a failure of satellite cell (SC) activation and lack of...
