The skeletal muscle microenvironment transiently remodels and stiffens after exercise and
injury, as muscle ages, and in myopathic muscle; however, how these changes in stiffness …

Skeletal muscle function crucially depends on innervation while repair of skeletal muscle
relies on resident muscle stem cells (MuSCs). However, it is poorly understood how …

Background Skeletal muscle aging is associated with a decreased regenerative potential
due to the loss of function of endogenous stem cells or myogenic progenitor cells (MPCs) …
