Skeletal muscle-specific stem cells are pivotal for tissue development and regeneration.
Muscle plasticity, inherent in these processes, is also essential for daily life activities. Great
advances and efforts have been made in understanding the function of the skeletal muscle-
dedicated stem cells, called muscle satellite cells, and the specific signaling mechanisms
that activate them for recruitment in the repair of the injured muscle. Elucidating these
signaling mechanisms may contribute to devising therapies for muscular injury or disease …
