Bovine muscle satellite cells are AcceGen’s bovine primary cell products isolated from the longissimus muscle of calves. Satellite cells are the myogenic progenitor cells in the skeletal muscle of postnatal animals, and are essential to the regeneration and growth of skeletal muscle. Therefore, they are commonly referred to as skeletal muscle satellite cells. When muscle is injured, muscle satellite cells are transformed from a normally quiescent form to activated cells, which can increase muscle size by proliferation as myoblasts, differentiation, and the fusion with muscle fibers or with each other to generate muscle fibers. Bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells are cultured in the DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 2mM L-glutamine, and 1% antibiotics-antimycotics, and trypsin-EDTA (0.25%) can be used for their detachment.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
Firstly, Bovine Muscle Satellite Cells are a useful tool to be applied in the understanding of the composition, development, and growth of skeletal muscle, to improve the growth efficiency and quality of skeletal muscle of cattle in the food industry. Secondly, an emerging field of biotechnology is cultured meat (cell-based meat), that stem cells proliferate and differentiate to produce mature and edible tissue in vitro. Bovine muscle satellite cell is a potential candidate material for cultured meat if its proliferation and differentiation are investigated and utilized.
Bovine Muscle Satellite Cells are stem cells found in the skeletal muscle tissue of cattle. They reside between the muscle fiber and the basal lamina, playing a key role in muscle growth, repair, and regeneration.
These cells are typically isolated through enzymatic digestion of bovine muscle tissue followed by mechanical separation. The process involves the use of collagenase or trypsin to break down the extracellular matrix, followed by cell filtration and purification.
Their primary function is to aid in muscle repair and regeneration. Upon activation, they proliferate and differentiate into myoblasts, which can fuse to form new muscle fibers or repair damaged muscle tissue.
Bovine Muscle Satellite Cells are primarily committed to the myogenic lineage, meaning they predominantly differentiate into myoblasts and then into mature muscle fibers. Their capacity to differentiate into other cell types is limited under normal conditions.
These cells are used in muscle biology research, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and agricultural studies focused on improving meat quality, livestock growth, and muscle-related diseases in cattle.
