Skeletal Muscle Repair and Regeneration
Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue of our body. Apart from its essential role in locomotion, it is also the body’s main store of carbohydrate and protein as well as being one of the principal generators of heat. Its proper maintenance and functio

 PREFACE
 
 Barring misfortune, there is a general expectation that our skeletal muscles will remain in effective service for our allotted ‘three-score- years-and-ten’ (Psalm 90, king James Bible, 1611) despite daily exposure to a variety of traumatic insults. It is now clear that this maintenance entails efficient operation of appropriate repai
