title: Satellite cells are mitotically quiescent in mature mouse muscle: an EM and radioautographic study.
abstract: Normal adult mouse tibialis anterior muscles were perfused continuously with 3H-thymidine for nine days. Quantitation of the satellite cell population in these muscles reveals that not only is the frequency of satellite cell nuclei low, but that those present are mitotically quiescent.
