Muscle stem cells and fibro-adipogenic progenitors in female pelvic floor muscle regeneration following birth injury
Abstract Pelvic floor muscle (PFM) injury during childbirth is a key risk factor for pelvic floor disorders that affect millions of women worldwide. Muscle stem cells (MuSCs), supported by the fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) and immune cells, are indispensable for the regeneration of injured app...
