Figure 1. Perturbations in satellite cell activity accompany acute and chronic muscle wasting.

Figure 1

Various pathologies that promote muscle atrophy also affect satellite cell function. Enhancement of intrinsic factors (miR-206, AT2R) within satellite cells may address impaired differentiation and improve skeletal muscles’ regenerative response. Additionally, targeting satellite cell proliferative capacity through exogenous inputs (isosorbide dinitrate) may restore reduced abundance.
