Abstract
MINCED skeletal muscle regenerates with autotransplantation and homotransplantation in the rat1,2, and with heterotrans-plantation in the mouse3. If the distal stump of peripheral nerve is positioned in the proximity of the mince, motor units are believed to develop within 75 days, and stimuli applied to the nerve should elicit a contraction in the regenerate muscle (personal communication from Dr B. M. Carlson).
