eLife Assessment: Mouse skeletal muscle satellite cells co-opt the tenogenic gene Scleraxis to instruct regeneration
Abstract
Muscle stem cells repurpose the tenogenic factor Scx to establish a muscle-specific transcriptional program that sustains stem cell expansion, migration, differentiation, fusion, self-renewal, and survival.
Fields of Study & Subjects
