A short clip from our latest episode, where @KevinMurachPhD discusses the role of satellite cells on muscle hypertrophy. For the full episode, check the link on our bio!
EP. 32: Satellite Cells and Muscle Growth | Kevin Murach
Muscle fibers are cylindrical cells that can contain hundreds of nuclei called myonuclei.
On the periphery of these muscle fibers, stem cells, known as satellite cells, lay dormant in a quiescent state during resting conditions.
With exercise, these cells can activate, often proliferate and may fuse to muscle fibers.
Historically, this fusion of satellite cells has been thought to be to mediate the repair of focal damage to the muscle fiber.
Additionally, it has been suggested that a myonucleus, which serves as a control center, can oversee only a finite jurisdiction β called the myonuclear domain.
Therefore some researchers have speculated that satellite cells could supply additional nuclei to the muscle fiber during hypertrophy to keep up with the increasing domain.
Interestingly, there is a recently growing body of evidence suggesting several non-fusion-related roles satellite cells can play.
Today, Dr. Kevin Murach ( @KevinMurachPhD ) is here to give us some insight into the interplay of satellite cells and muscle growth!

My best attempt at a Sir Richard Attenborough voice. Luckily Velu Immonen at #coachingcues was upgraded it to dramatic/exciting π. Here's my take on the neural elements of force production and strength training. Really enjoyable project #jyunique@JYUsport_health@JYUBiolPA
