Great work by a group of researcher with Center for Muscle Biology

The study team hopes to determine how different trajectories to functional recovery are associated with differences in the cellular processes in skeletal muscle tissue and physical function measurements.

Multinuclear muscle fibers are the most voluminous cells in skeletal muscle and the primary drivers of growth in response to loading. Outside the muscle fiber, however, is a diversity of mononuclear cell types that reside in the extracellular matrix (ECM). These muscle-resident cells are exercise-re...
