(committed progenitors). When a stem cell self-renews, it divides to make copies of itself. The balance between populations of stem cells and differentiating cells is critical for embryonic development, and for long-term maintenance and regeneration of adult tissues. Unlike other tissues with high...
Although striated in appearance, cardiac muscle is readily distinguishable from skeletal muscle and should not be referred to by the term ‘striated muscle’. Muscle cells of all three types are surrounded by an external lamina (see Ch. 4). In all muscle cell types, contractile forces developed...
Tennis leg is a term coined for tears of the plantaris tendon. It may clinically resemble a tear of the medial head of the gastrocnemius with acute calf pain andskin discoloration. Theplantaris musclehas its origin on the lateral femoral condyle and runs inferiorly just distal to the lateral ...

99]. The process of muscle regeneration and growth is the subject of ongoing research, but can be summarised by the inter-dependent processes of (1) mechanical injury; (2) inflammation marked by the clearance of necrotic tissue by myeloid cells; (3) repair marked by satellite cell activation...

According to neurobiotaxis, the cell bodies of a particular group of axons will migrate in the direction from which they receive the most frequent stimulation. As vertebrates transition from water to land, the cell bodies of the accessory nerve shift from the medulla oblongata to the cervical ...
Another important result was the repression of key genes of the ubiquitin/proteasome system in both cancer-cell-conditioned media and cancer-patient sera. To the best of our knowledge, there are no other data available on the decrease in ubiquitin/proteasome gene expression after long-term ...
In humans, doses of ‘only’ 250,000–300,000 IU are associated with short-term increased falls and fracture risks. Levels of 25D in the rats were consistently 4–6 times the controls. High-dose vitamin D increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis 4 days after injury. No changes ...
