Image for: Fountain of Youth: Molecular Switch Holds Key to Reserve Supply of Muscle Stem Cells


"Fountain of youth" for muscle cells: muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells (marked in red) enable muscles to heal very well. They are located between the membrane of a muscle cell and the layer surrounding it. A molecular switch keeps the reservoir of satellite cells "fresh", as researchers from the MDC have now demonstrated.
