SummaryThe ability of myogenic cells to migrate perpendicular to the long axis of freely autografted muscles was examined. Rat extensor digitorum longus muscles were divided, and one half was devitalized by repeated freezing in liquid nitrogen while the other half was kept viable in physiologic saline. The halves were reunited with sutures and grafted back into the original muscle bed. At intervals between 5 and 25 days the grafts were removed and examined histologically for the presence of… CONTINUE READING
