Muscle Regeneration
Muscle regeneration is the process by which damaged muscle tissue repairs itself after injury or stress. This process involves the activation of specialized cells called satellite cells, which are responsible for repairing and regenerating muscle fibers. When muscle fibers are injured, these cells multiply and fuse to the damaged areas, helping to restore muscle function and strength.
During muscle regeneration, various growth factors and proteins play crucial roles in promoting healing and muscle growth. Inflammation initially occurs to clear out damaged cells, followed by a repair phase where new muscle fibers are formed. This regeneration process is essential for recovery after exercise, injury, or surgery.
