title: Skeletal muscle stem cells: a symposium.
abstract: Muscle stem cells are a population of cells that are important for both adaptations to exercise and muscle regeneration. This symposium was designed to highlight the role of these cells during muscle hypertrophy and development, and in response to insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) induced stimulation.
