MainSatellite cells, the canonical muscle stem cells, are responsible for postnatal muscle growth and regeneration. They exist in a quiescent state, located in a niche between the basal lamina and muscle sarcolemma1,2,3,4,5. During muscle regeneration, these cells activate, divide asymmetrically to self-renew or form a proliferative population of committed progenitors called myoblasts. These myoblasts differentiate
