Muscle regeneration: molecular aspects and therapeutic implications.
With respect to diverse clinical applications for muscle regeneration, this paper discusses the latest markers for identifying skeletal muscle precursor cells in regenerating muscle, the implications of alternative sources of myogenic precursor cells and putative stem cells, and the current status of administration of exogenous factors to enhance muscle repair.
