The regeneration of mature striated skeletal muscle is studied in vivo in healing lesions of rabbit muscle (ischaemic infarcts and thermal injuries), and in tissue cultures of mature rat muscle. Attention is given to the origin of isolated cells, the transformation of myogenic elements, and to cytodifferentiation of the sarcoblasts; the cell forms occurring in the course of muscle regeneration in vivo and in vitro are described. Many of the numerous macrophagic cells which appeared after muscle injury are derived from the fixed histiocytes of the endomysium, but free macrophagic cells also originate from the surviving nuclei and sarcoplasm of partly degenerated muscle fiber segments whose contractile elements have succumbed, and in vitro, from sarcoblasts. The surviving elements of such partly degenerated muscle fibers also give rise to sarcoblasts in the form of slender straps or slips or discontinuous cells, and to muscle buds (myogenic giant cells). In vivo, however, sarcoblasts usually originate as continuous wide tapering ribbons from the ends of intact muscle fibers. Free macrophagic cells, whatever their origin, can be distinguished from the sarcoblasts and buds by uptake of vital dye (trypan blue) by the former but not the latter. The sarcoblasts grew rapidly, their nuclei proliferating amitotically. In their cytoplasmic differentiation, progressive prefibril, fibril, cross-striated and maturation stages are recognized and their characteristics detailed. Changing nuclear appearances accompany these developments. Restitution of injured muscle although extensive is never complete; anatomical conditions affecting regeneration are enumerated. The great intrinsic capacity of mature striated skeletal muscle fibers for proliferation, redifferentiation, and modulation is emphasized in this study.
