Satellite Cells By: Kate Latham Last Updated: May 23, 2021 Satellite cells are multipotent stem cells of the skeletal muscle tissue, and they play a central role in the growth, maintenance, and repair of the muscles. These self-renewing cells are found between the sarcolemma and basement membrane of muscle fibers and are quiescent in most healthy, adult muscle tissue. Satellite cells are activated in response to muscle injury, which causes them to proliferate and differentiate to form myoblasts....

Skeletal Muscle By: BD Editors Last Updated: March 26, 2019 Skeletal Muscle Definition Skeletal muscle is a specialized contractile tissue found in animals which functions to move an organism’s body. Skeletal muscle is comprised from a series of bundles of muscle fibers, surrounded by protective membranes. This arrangement allows skeletal muscle to contract quickly and release quickly without subjecting the individual fibers to too much friction. Skeletal muscle tissue can be found across the animal kingdom, in most multi-cellular forms of life....

The fourth season of Stranger Things came to an end earlier this month, but fans of the show are still gushing over Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn). The character became an instant fan favorite, and Quinn has become a huge star overnight. The best Eddie moment occurred in the season finale when he played Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” in order to distract the demobats in the Upside Down. Metallica has since reacted to the moment and even made an epic TikTok duet....

Amnion By: BD Editors Last Updated: June 2, 2017 Amnion Definition The amnion is an extraembryonic membrane that surrounds a developing amniote embryo. It acts as a protective sac along with three other extraembryonic membranes: the chorion, the yolk sac, and the allantois. The membranes are then enclosed further by a shell (in birds, reptiles, and some mammals) or in a uterus (in most mammals). All four membranes protect the developing embryo through the provision of gas exchange, nutrient delivery, and waste excretion....

Beyond Good and Evil 2 has finally gotten a lead writer… six years after the game was announced. Beyond Good and Evil 2 is one of gaming’s great white whales. The first game was very beloved and it wasn’t a terribly long time until Ubisoft started talking about a second game in the series. Then things went very quiet for nearly a decade when Beyond Good and Evil 2 was officially revealed in 2017 where it was revealed the follow-up is actually a prequel, something that threw fans for a bit of a loop given some leaked trailers from the late 2000s suggested it would be a direct sequel....

Genetic Engineering By: Sarah Knapp Last Updated: May 17, 2020 Genetic engineering or genetic modification is a field of genetics that alters the DNA of an organism by changing or replacing specific genes. Used in the agricultural, industrial, chemical, pharmaceutical, and medical sectors, genetic engineering can be applied to the production of brewing yeasts, cancer therapies, and genetically-modified crops and livestock, among countless other options. The only criterion is that the modified product is – or once was – a living organism that contains DNA....

Herbaceous Plants Examples By: BD Editors Last Updated: April 2, 2018 Herbaceous plants don’t have hard, woody stems and their buds don’t survive winter above ground. Woody plants, in contrast, survive the winter above ground and they include many species of trees, shrubs, and vines. The wood in their stems is made of secondary xylem (plant vascular tissue that grows in rings) and is often covered with bark. That woody plants survive year to year and continue to grow makes them the tallest and largest types of plants on Earth....

Emily in Paris has a trailer for Season 3 and there’s a Golden Girls reference that sneaks in there at the end. This series is no stranger to poking fun at the cultural difference that Lily Collins goes through while dealing with a new environment. But, hearing “thank you for being a friend” is almost immediately followed by “traveled down the road and back again” for a certain type of American millennial....

Resident Evil actor Lance Reddick has posted a video in response to Netflix’s cancelation of the TV series. The Resident Evil series is one of the most influential franchises in gaming, so naturally, it only made sense for Hollywood to want to ride Capcom’s gravy train to the box office and streamers. Film adaptations started releasing in the early 2000s to mixed reviews, but immense commercial success, particularly overseas. The films would eventually be rebooted with a more direct adaptation of the games in 2021, but it failed to make a splash....
