Purpose Skeletal muscle comprises different kinds of muscle fibres that can be classified as slow and fast fibres. The purpose of this study was to compare the yield, proliferation, and multi-potentiality of rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the tibialis anterior (TA; fast muscle) and soleus (S...
