Brief description Muscle repair occurs via the use of muscle stem cells, which provide skeletal muscle with its regenerative capacity. Muscle stem cells are particularly important in muscle diseases such as muscular dystrophies where muscle regeneration is an important factor in disease progression. We will identify the processes controlling muscle regeneration utilising zebrafish as a model organism. We hope this research will lead to an understanding of how muscle stem cells are generated.
