Isolated myofibers offer the possibility of study of satellite cells in their niche. We describe a mouse myofiber isolation assay to assess satellite cell activation by quantifying myofiber-derived satellite cell progeny. The assay allows isolation of myofibers from a mouse using standard equipment and reagents. It can be used to compare satellite cells across different mouse models or to evaluate their response to treatments, offering a valuable complementary tool for experimentation.
孤立的肌纤维为研究卫星细胞在其龛位中的情况提供了可能。我们描述了一种小鼠肌纤维分离测定法,通过定量肌纤维衍生的卫星细胞后代来评估卫星细胞的激活。该测定法使用标准设备和试剂从小鼠中分离肌纤维。它可用于比较不同小鼠模型中的卫星细胞,或评估它们对治疗的反应,为实验提供了一种有价值的补充工具。
