β-Catenin Activation in Muscle Progenitor Cells Regulates Tissue Repair

Skeletal muscle regeneration relies on a pool of resident muscle stem cells called satellite cells (MuSCs). Following injury-induced destruction of the myofibers, quiescent MuSCs are activated and generate transient amplifying progenitors (myoblasts) that will fuse to form new myofibers. Here, we fo...
