Abstract

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) support tissue homeostasis and regeneration, yet their molecular signals remain largely enigmatic. In skeletal muscle (SkM), MSCs, known as fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs), are essential for maintenance and repair, orchestrating these processes through intricate cellular communication networks. Given the critical role of SkM in lifelong health and longevity, FAP…
