Satellite cell activation

Satellite cells are specialized stem cells located in our muscles, responsible for repair and growth. When muscle tissue is injured or experiences stress, these cells become activated, meaning they transform from a resting state into active repair enzymes. Once activated, they multiply and fuse with damaged muscle fibers, helping to repair and rebuild the muscle tissue. This process is essential for muscle healing, strength recovery, and growth after exercise or injury. Essentially, satellite cells function as the body's natural maintenance crew, stepping in whenever muscles need repair or reinforcement.
