Abstract:
Models of skeletal muscle injury in animal models are invaluable tools to assess muscle stem cell (MuSC)-mediated tissue repair. The optimization and comprehensive evaluation of these approaches have greatly improved our ability to assess MuSC regenerative potential. Here we describe the procedures for skeletal muscle injury with notexin and BaCl2 and assessment of the dynamics of tissue regeneration.
