"Myosatellite Cells" is BAD language and a BAD title

The correct and idiomatic English term for this cell is just "satellite cell" without the useless myo-prefix. Whoever created this page or named the article must have been a hardcore Anatomist or Histologist, because, indeed, the "Terminologia Histologica", a dictionary of histological terms, calls them "myosatellite cells" to not confuse them with another kind of cell, the glial satellite cell in the dorsal root ganglion. But let's be realistic, the Terminologia Histologica is so obscure that I never encountered it in medical school at all, nor have I heard of its existence until I started training as a specialized Anatomist and Histologist.

Whatever the Terminologia Histologica says, nobody in the world calls them myosatellite cells. You won't ever encounter the term "myosatellite cell" in the current scientific literature or in modern text books, nor is the myo-prefix ever used in spoken language. We all just say plain and simple "satellte cells". When my colleagues and I discuss satellite cells, which happens daily, because we do research on them, we call them, of course, satellite cells. And so does every researcher team on the planet.

This entire discussion would be pointless if satellite cells (the muscle kind) weren't such a HUGE hot sexy topic in the scientific community, whereas a am not aware that anyone makes . Wikipedia must keep up with the real world and not an ancient dictionary that not even those for whom it was written care about.

Just search PubMed, the search engine for scientific literature: "satellite cells NOT (myosatellite) NOT (dorsal horn ganglion)" returns 10755 results. "myosatellite cells" returns 67 results. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.125.100.244 (talk) 06:45, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring the page

I've changed the page back - I don't think that Satellite cells should be a disambiguation page, as the majority of existing links are entirely to muscle pages. Also, the scientific literature primarily refers to muscle progenitors. I have left a disambiguation link to glial progenitors, which apparently can also be referred to as satellite cells.

I have also added some more detail, although I did it based on personal knowledge (so it is poorly referenced). I will look up a few good review articles I have on hand and put them in as references - unless someone gets there first! Dr Aaron 11:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neuron infobox

Hi there. Could it be kind of confusing having "Neuron: Satellite Cell" on the right-hand side if the page deals primarily with the muscle stem cell variety rather than the glial physical support cells for the PNS (peripheral nervous system)?

News re STAT3

Researchers discover a key to making new muscles "...cyclic bursts of a STAT3 inhibitor can replenish muscle stem cells and promote their differentiation into muscle fibers." - Rod57 (talk) 12:08, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified (February 2018)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Myosatellite cell. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070307094634/http://www.brown.edu/Courses/BI0032/adltstem/sc.htm to http://www.brown.edu/Courses/BI0032/adltstem/sc.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
