Enhanced understanding of muscle stem cell biology and function is essential for developing technologies and strategies to augment the metabolic efficiency and muscle hypertrophy of growing animals potentially leading to greater efficiency and reduced environmental impacts of animal production, while concomitantly improving product uniformity and consumer acceptance and enjoyment of muscle foods.465 - 474 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightAdipocytesAdipofibroblastsEmbryogenesisPostnatal myogenesis.Satellite cellsSkeletal muscle stem cellsAdipocytesAdipogenesisAnimalsBody Fat DistributionCell DedifferentiationExtracellular MatrixMuscle DevelopmentMuscle, SkeletalSatellite Cells, Skeletal MuscleStem CellsArticle - Refereed651449-2288
