The Stat3-Fam3a axis promotes muscle stem cell myogenic lineage progression by inducing mitochondrial respiration

Induction of mitochondrial oxidative respiration is required for stem cell differentiation, but the mechanisms underlying this process are poorly understood. Here, the authors report that Stat3 promotes muscle stem cell differentiation by stimulating mitochondrial respiration via Fam3a.
