Implication of the satellite cell in dystrophic muscle fibrosis: a self-perpetuating mechanism of collagen overproduction.
Because of its mechanical function, skeletal muscle is heavily influenced by the composition of its extracellular matrix (ECM). Fibrosis generated by chronic damage, such as occurs in muscular dystrophies, is thus particularly disastrous in this tissue. Here, we examined the interrelationship betwee...
