Transverse section of the muscle of a mouse. On the left, the green staining reveals the expression of the GFP protein (Green Fluorescent Protein), under the control of the Pax3 gene, in the nucleus of a myosatellite cell. On the right, the blue staining marks all the nuclei. The red staining, on both images, marks the presence of the extracellular matrix protein, laminin, around the fibers. The capacity of skeletal muscles to undergo regeneration depends on skeletal muscle stem cells, called…

Transverse sections of mouse skeletal muscles, with muscle fibers in red and their nuclei in blue. At the top, a non-injured muscle. The nuclei of the fibers are found at the periphery. The photograph at the bottom shows a regenerating muscle, 12 days after injury. Regenerating fibers have centrally located nuclei and many of them are smaller in size. The capacity of skeletal muscles to undergo regeneration depends on skeletal muscle stem cells, called myosatellite cells. Upon muscle injury,…

Muscle cardiaque d'un embryon de souris dans lequel une deuxième source de cellules (en bleu), importante pour la formation du ventricule droit, du pôle artériel et du pôle veineux, a été mise en évidence grâce à une analyse clonale du cœur. Les résultats de ces travaux permettent une meilleure compréhension de la cardiogenèse (formation du cœur) et ont des répercussions sur le diagnostic des maladies congénitales du cœur.

The capacity of skeletal muscles to undergo regeneration depends on skeletal muscle stem cells, called myosatellite cells. Upon muscle injury, myosatellite…
