Molecular regulation of skeletal muscle stem cell quiescence and activation
Project Description
Adult muscle stem cells reside in the quiescent state for a prolonged period of time and are essential for muscle repair upon muscle damage. The goal of this project is to elucidate the molecular regulation of muscle stem cell quiescence and activation.
