A receptor helps keep muscle stem cells unspecialized in mice
Mouse experiments found that steroid drugs’ effects on muscle repair were largely independent of the receptor in muscle stem cells.Mouse experiments found that steroid drugs’ effects on muscle repair were largely independent of the receptor in muscle stem cells.
Preprint: mouse studyMuscle
Who was studiedYoung and aged mice, against control mice
What changedReceptor deletion reduced cells carrying a stem cell marker during muscle regeneration compared with control mice
The catchPAX7-positive cell counts and gene expression are indirect measures of stem cell commitment
