Summary
It is known that, in a denervated striated muscle, the satellite cells multiply by mitotic division. A liaison between these satellite cells and the Schwann cell in front of the post-synaptic membrane in denervated frog muscle has been observed. It is probable that such cell connections help in the subsistence of the Schwann cell in a denervated muscle.
