Figure 6.2 (A) Autoradiogram of a single chicken myofiber labeled in vitro with 3H-thymidine. Arrows point to labeled satellite
cell nuclei. Reproduced with permission from Bischoff, Interaction between satellite cells and skeletal muscle fibers. Development

membrane (bm) of a cultured chick myofiber. Reproduced with permission from Konigsberg et al., The regenerative response of
single mature muscle fibers isolated in vitro. Dev Biol 45:260–275. Copyright 1975, Elsevier. (C) Electron micrograph of a satellite
cell nucleus (SCN) of a newt limb myofiber (M). In newt skeletal muscle, the satellite cells are encased in a basement membrane
(arrowheads) that is separate from the basement membrane of the myofiber (arrow). N = nucleus of adjacent myofiber. Courtesy
