Treatments of muscle injuries: Effect of macrophages during skeletal muscle regeneration and hypertrophy
Skeletal muscles are plastic and can adapt to physical activities, but also can be easily injured. Muscle remodels with increasing mechanical loading or contractile activity by increasing its mass and/or myofibre size, referred to as skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Muscle remodelling mainly relies on the adaptation of the myofibers while regeneration relies on muscle stem cells
