A Glitch in the Matrix: The Pivotal Role for Extracellular Matrix Remodeling During Muscle Hypertrophy | American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology 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...
