Muscle Injuries and Repair: What's New on the Horizon!
Although we recognize the many advantages of improved musculoskeletal health, we also note that our ability to sustain this health and to maintain quality of life in an aging population is currently deficient. However, global efforts have produced numerous advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine that will collectively serve to fill this deficiency in the near future. The purpose of this review is to highlight our current knowledge, to outline our recent advances, and to discuss the evolving paradigms in skeletal muscle injury and repair.
