Satellite cells on single fibres. Confocal images of satellite cells on the surface of regenerating human muscle fibres 30 days post injury. Three desmin+ (nestin-negative) satellite cells are visible in a, where nestin demonstrates a striated staining pattern of the myofibre, indicating ongoing regeneration. Scale bar 100 μm. Proliferating satellite cells are shown in b, evident from the expression of Ki67 and CD56, or desmin and nestin together with a nucleus undergoing mitosis. Scale bars, 20 μm
