ABSTRACT
Aside from myofibers, numerous mononucleated cells reside in the skeletal muscle. These include the mesenchymal cells called fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs), that support muscle development and regeneration in adult muscles. Recent evidence shows that defects in FAP function contributes to chronic muscle diseases and targeting FAPs offers avenues for treating these diseases.
