Abstract
Humans and other vertebrates have evolved a robust repair mechanism required to respond to overuse, trauma, and disease. In amphibians, some reptiles and fish, entire muscles can be regenerated in response to amputation. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that control these processes has therapeutic implications for individuals where the severe loss of muscle or chronic destabilization has led to the histopathological accumulation of fibrotic scars and fat. Much of the past 30 years has focused on defining the regulatory pathways that control development of skeletal muscle and the additional layers of regulation necessary for recapitulating myogenesis in adults. More recently, it has become clear that efficient skeletal muscle repair and regeneration cannot be understood solely through the lens of a single cell lineage. In this chapter, we discuss current findings on the contribution of the immune system, fibroadipogenic cells and the extracellular matrix in regulating myogenic progenitor cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation of myotubes in response to injury or amputation.
