Protocol for Isolation and Characterization of In Situ Fixed Quiescent Muscle Stem Cells

Summary: Quiescent muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells (SCs), are essential for muscle regeneration. However, quiescent SCs are quickly activated during fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) isolation. Here, we present an optimized protocol to isolate quiescent muscle stem cells from...
