Recapitulation of Extracellular LAMININ Environment Maintains Stemness of Satellite Cells In Vitro

Summary: Satellite cells function as precursor cells in mature skeletal muscle homeostasis and regeneration. In healthy tissue, these cells are maintained in a state of quiescence by a microenvironment formed by myofibers and basement membrane in which LAMININs (LMs) form a major component. In the p...
