| Research Abstract |
Skeletal muscle has a large plasticity. The development of a countermeasure for the prevention of muscle atrophy, which is accompanied with the depressed contractile function, is one of important issues for the maintenance of physical activity and Quality of Life (QOL) in the preventive medicine as well as in Health and Sports Sciences. However, there is no effective countermeasure. The present study revealed that skeletal muscle plasticity could be regulated by the stimulations of both the immune systems and muscle specific stem cells, so called satellite cells. Evidences from the present study might be useful for the development of effective rehabilitations for the depressed muscle function in both atrophied and injured skeletal muscles.
