Electrical stimulation influences satellite cell proliferation and apoptosis in unloading-induced muscle atrophy in mice.
Muscle atrophy caused by disuse is accompanied by adverse physiological and functional consequences. Satellite cells are the primary source of skeletal muscle regeneration. Satellite cell dysfunction, as a result of impaired proliferative potential and/or increased apoptosis, is thought to be one of...
