Intrinsic Ability of Adult Stem Cell in Skeletal Muscle: An Effective and Replenishable Resource to the Establishment of Pluripotent Stem Cells

<table>The self-renewal, activation, and differentiation of satellite cells in adult skeletal muscle. Satellite cells reside adjacent to the plasma membrane under the basal lamina on the surface of the myofiber. The nuclei of myofiber (myonuclei) are positioned at the periphery of the cell. Satellite cells are activated upon receiving various external stimuli and differentiate together with the upregulation of MyoD. Quiescent and activated satellite cells express a characteristic marker, Pax7. Immunohistochemical detection of Pax7 (red), dystrophin (green) and DAPI (blue) of adult rat skeletal muscle is shown (left bottom).</table>
