Rejuvenating Stem Cells to Restore Muscle Regeneration in Aging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Regenerative Medicine and Plastic Surgery

Abstract

Muscle stem cells, also termed satellite cells, are essential to the maintenance and repair of the muscle throughout life. During aging, the muscle tissue loses a significant portion of its mass due to atrophy and degeneration of myofibers. Muscle aging is also characterized by a decline in the repair capacity of satellite cells. A major research effort is devoted in the recent years to deciphering the cause to the decline in satellite cell function and number during aging. Some studies focus at age-associated environmental changes while others emphasize the role of cell-intrinsic mechanisms that reflect accumulation of damage during the life of the stem cell. This chapter focuses on the network of cell-intrinsic and extrinsic factors that contribute to the decline of satellite cells in old animals. We also discuss current ideas on ways to rejuvenate aged satellite cells. Such rejuvenation can potentially improve muscle repair and maintenance in the elderly.
