Abstract
Regeneration of gastrocnem ius muscle following transplantation was studied in mice. It was discovered that there was an initial phase of degeneration of almost all of the original muscle fibres followed by a regeneration of a new population of myotubes within the graft. BY about the second week post-grafting, a distinct atrophy and degenera-tion of regenerated muscle fibres had set in. This process continued unabated so that by about the end of the fourth week there remained only a few regenerating muscle fibres within the graft, while the rest of the area was occupied by connective and adipose tissue elements. These results indicate that mouse gastrocnemius muscle does not possess good regenrative ability following transplantation. Possible reasons for this inability are discussed
