High mobility group I/Y: multifunctional chromosomal proteins causally involved in tumor progression and malignant transformation (review).

abstract：:Needle biopsy is widely used to obtain specimens for physiological, anatomical and biochemical studies of skeletal muscle (SM). We optimized a procedure which we termed tiny percutaneous needle biopsy (TPNB), to efficiently gather good numbers of human satellite cells and single dissociated fibers for the functional s...
