Satellite Cells

Satellite cells are a group of cells that are found in the tissues of the brain and other organs of the body. They perform many functions, including maintaining normal tissue function and protecting against infection and damage. Satellite cells are able to maintain a constant level of oxygen in the brain, which is important for its health.

One of the functions of satellite cells is their participation in tissue regeneration processes. When cells are damaged or die, satellite cells travel to the area and begin to repair it. This can help speed up the healing and recovery process, reducing pain and restoring functionality to damaged organs.

Satellite cells also have a high ability to survive. They can survive extreme conditions, such as long-term exposure to radiation or toxic substances. This makes them an important component of the body's defense against damage and infectious diseases.
