Project Description

We examined mRNA expression of the 19 wnt proteins following acute skeletal muscle injury in mice on day 7 post-injury using PCR. A staining procedure for macrophages, endothelial cells, satellite cells, and fibroblasts was performed to observe which cell types were responsive to wnt signaling. This paper also includes a study of an optimal freezing protocol for skeletal muscle tissue for cryostat sectioning and histological examination.
