Abstract

Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) display distinct behavior crucial for tissue maintenance and repair. Upon activation, MuSCs exhibit distinct modes of division: symmetric division, facilitating either self-renewal or differentiation, and asymmetric division, which dictates divergent cellular fates. This review explores the nuanced dynamics of MuSC division and the molecular mechanisms governing this behavior. Furthermore, it introduces a novel phenomenon observed in a subset of MuSCs under hypertrophic stimuli termed division-independent differentiation. Insights into the underlying mechanisms driving this process are discussed, alongside its broader implications for muscle physiology.
