Epigenetic regulation of skeletal muscle satellite cells in exercise-induced injury repair

Individuals, ranging from the average person to athletes, face potential risks of exercise-related injuries. To explore the mechanisms of repair, it is imperative to focus on skeletal muscle, whose regeneration depends on a resident population of muscle stem cells known as satellite cells. Through meticulous experimentation and research, it has been revealed that epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, play a pivotal role in governing gene expression within skeletal muscle satellite cells. These findings underscore the significant impact of these regulatory processes in addressing exercise-induced injuries.
