Abstract

The ability of stem cells to activate and differentiate is critical for maintaining the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Here, we detail steps for specific quantification and isolation of primary human fibro-adipogenic progenitors and skeletal muscle stem cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. We describe important phenotypic traits such as time to enter the cell cycle and assessment of cell differentiation for the isolated cell populations. The technique has been applied on tissue obtained from surgery and needle biopsies. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Farup et al. (2021).1.
