Abstract: The historical basis and evidence for the identification of satellite cells as adult muscle stem cells is described and contributions of other cells to adult myogenesis is evaluated. Data regarding the origins, genetic markers, and molecular regulation of satellite cells is normal, diseased, and aged muscles are summarized.
