Role of pax7 in the development and regeneration of muscle satellite cells in Xenopus laevis

Abstract Muscle satellite cells are a population of undifferentiated mononuclear myogenic progenitor cells. The aim of this study was to explore the developmental origin of satellite cells in Xenopus laevis embryos and identify the function of Xenopus pax7, a reliable marker of Xenopus satellite cells, in satellite cell development and muscle regeneration.
