Abstract:
Skeletal muscle composes 30-40% of our body weight and is formed by multinuclear cells called myofibers. The formation of myofiber depends on the dynamic proliferation, differentiation and fusion of the myogenic progenitors during development. In the adult stage, the skeletal muscle exhibits excellent regeneration ability as well, depended on the muscle stem(satellite)cells that generate and repair myofibers. In this review, we would like to introduce ① the mechanisms of myogenic progenitor-dependent myofiber formation in myogenesis, ② the common fusion mechanism for myogenesis and muscle regeneration, and ③ the current status and prospects for clinical application utilizing satellite cells.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Mechanism of Breathing III: The Accessory Muscles
The respiratory system is a complex network that relies on primary respiratory muscles like the diaphragm, but also involves accessory muscles to enhance lung expansion and airflow during both inhalation and exhalation.
Enhancing Inhalation with Accessory Muscles:
Accessory muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid, scalene, intercostal, and abdominal muscles are crucial when additional respiratory effort is required, such as during deep...
