Resumo:

Skeletal muscle possesses the remarkable capacity to complete a rapid and extensive regeneration, even following severe damage. The regenerative ability of skeletal muscle relies on Satellite Cells (SCs), a population of muscle specific adult stem cells. However, during aging or under several pathological conditions, the ability of skeletal muscle to fully regenerated is compromised. Here, a morphological and molecular study on SCs from patients affected by ALS is described. Moreover, the role of the cell cycle regulator P16Ink4a during skeletal muscle regeneration and aging has been investigated.
