Overloading MuSCs. Overloading MuSCs

Skeletal muscle possesses the ability to adapt its size in response to milieus, which is called plasticity. Overload like resistance training induces the increment of muscle mass called muscle hypertrophy. Muscle stem cells (also known as muscle stem cells) function to supply new nuclei for myofiber during the overload in muscle. Using compensatory hypertrophy in plantaris muscles, we isolated MuSCs from plantaris muscles 4 days after surgery. Control MuSCs were also prepared from sham plantaris muscles. Overall design: Control and overloaded satellite cells from Pax7-CreERT2:Rosa-YFP were used for RNA-seq analysis.
