Fibroblast fusion to the muscle fiber regulates myotendinous junction formation

Wesal Yaseen, Ortal Kraft-Sheleg, Shelly Zaffryar‐Eilot…·Peleg Hasson

The paper identifies fibroblasts that adopt a myogenic program and fuse into muscle fibers at myotendinous junctions, contributing to junction formation through hybrid cell characteristics.
