name: initiation of satellite cell activation by growth factor signalling, involved in skeletal muscle regeneration
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Signalling between growth factors and their receptors that results in the activation of satellite cell, where this process is involved in skeletal muscle regeneration. Satellite cells are quiescent cells that are located between the basal lamina and the plasmalemma of the muscle fiber, which are the main contributors to postnatal muscle growth. In adult muscle, satellite cells become activated to divide and differentiate in response to muscle damage.
