Phenotypic divergence in rotator cuff tear and volumetric muscle loss mouse models following fibroadipogenic progenitor depletion

Aims: Fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are a group of resident muscle stem cells capable of differentiating into fibroblasts and adipocytes, contributing to intramuscular fibrotic and fatty degeneration after injury. However, FAPs are also thought to play a crucial role in musc...
