In postnatal muscle, skeletal muscle precursors (myoblasts) can be derived
from satellite cells (reserve cells located on the surface of mature myofibers) or from cells
lying beyond the myofiber, e.g., interstitial connective tissue or bone marrow. Both of
these classes of cells may have stem cell properties. In addition, the heretical idea that postmitotic myonuclei lying within mature myofibers might be able to re-form myoblasts or
stem cells is examined and related to recent observations for similar post-mitotic cardiomyocytes. In adult hearts (which previously were not considered capable of repair), the role of
replicating endogenous cardiomyocytes and the recruitment of other (stem) cells into cardiomyocytes for new cardiac muscle formation has recently attracted much attention. The
relative contribution of these various sources of precursor cells in postnatal muscles and
the factors that may enhance stem cell participation in the formation of new skeletal and
cardiac muscle in vivo are the focus of this review. We concluded that, although many endogenous cell types can be converted to skeletal muscle, the contribution of non-myogenic
cells to the formation of new postnatal skeletal muscle in vivo appears to be negligible.
Whether the recruitment of such cells to the myogenic lineage can be significantly enhanced
by specific inducers and the appropriate microenvironment is a current topic of intense interest. However, dermal fibroblasts appear promising as a realistic alternative source of exogenous myoblasts for transplantation purposes. For heart muscle, experiments showing the
participation of bone marrow-derived stem cells and endothelial cells in the repair of damaged cardiac muscle are encouraging.
stem cells can differentiate into nerve or muscle cells
Miyeloblastic committed stem cells
Technically yes they are because hemocytoblast stem cells create Myeloid stem cells and Lymphoid stem cells which produce all of the formed elements (white and red blood cells).
A stem cell could be absolutely any cell that they are surrounded by, for instance a doctor could use Stem cells and place them in broken heart muscle fibers and those stem cells would become heart muscle cells, repairing the location as they assimilate with the surrounding cells. the same goes for other types of cells, such as organ and even skin cells. so to put the answer of your question in short, a doctor can use stem cells for nearly anything in his field:)

A stem cell, if put near a muscle cell, will transform itself into more muscle cells. If a stem cell is put near the cell of an organ, it will "replicate" the cells of that organ. (if and only IF the stem cell is deemed compatible and has nutrients) A muscle cell if put near anything not muscle ... will do nothing (very likely will be killed/absorbed by the antibodies), if put near a muscle, it should try to integrate itself into working in tandem with that muscle.
