Abstract excerpt
Macrophages are central regulators of skeletal muscle regeneration, dynamically transitioning from pro-inflammatory (M1-like) to reparative (M2-like) phenotypes to coordinate debris clearance, inflammation modulation, satellite cell activation, and tissue remodeling. This review details the underlying molecular mechanisms, focusing on metabolic reprogramming, such as the shift to oxidative phosphorylation and key...
