• myoblasts
  24 August 2004

  Myoblasts undergo an intercellular fusion for the generation of multinucleated muscle fibers during skeletal muscle development.

• satellite cells
  19 January 2006

  Satellite cells are the primary stem cells in adult skeletal muscle, and are responsible for postnatal muscle growth, hypertrophy and regeneration.
  In mature muscle, most satellite cells are in a quiescent state, but they activate and begin proliferating in response to extrinsic signals. Following activation, a subset of satellite cell progeny returns to the quiescent state during the process of self-renewal.

  Definition: Parietal cells, or oxyntic cells, are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (CCK2 receptors).
  The histamine receptors act by increasing intracellular cAMP, whereas the muscarinic and gastrin receptors increase intracellular Ca2+ levels.
  Both cAMP and Ca2+ act via protein kinases to increase the transport of acid into the stomach. (...)

• osteoclasts
  29 October 2003

  Definition: The osteoclast is the cell responsible for bone resorption. It is derived from hematopoietic progenitor cells that also give rise to monocytes and macrophages.
  Information regarding the molecular regulation of osteoclast formation in humans is limited. In mice, a number of transcription factors, including PU.1 and Fos, are essential for developing an osteoclast phenotype.
  The cytokines and growth factors crucial for osteoclast differentiation and maturation in humans include (...)

• osteocytes
  5 February 2006

  Osteocytes are more numerous than any other bone-forming cell and outnumber osteoblasts by about 10:1. Although encased by bone, they communicate with each other and with surface cells via an intricate network of tunnels through the matrix known as canaliculi.
  The osteocytic cell processes traverse the canaliculi, and their contacts along gap junctions allow the transfer of surface membrane potentials and substrates.
  The large number of osteocytic processes and their distribution (...)
