Basal lamina remodeling at the skeletal muscle stem cell niche mediates stem cell self-renewal

Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling is thought to have effects on muscle stem cells that support muscle homeostasis. Here the authors show ECM remodeling controls satellite cell self-renewal through deposition of laminin-α1 into the satellite cell niche.
