Hot off the press! Our newest manuscript assessed and compared intramuscular fat formation, fibrosis, & muscle regeneration in females and males of three commonly used mouse strains, C57BL/6J, 129S1/SvlmJ & CD1. One key finding is that C57BL/6J mice are resistant to fat formation compared to 129S1/SvlmJ & CD1. Also, BL6 mice fully regenerate their myofibers 21 days post injury, while 129S & CD1 mice still lag behind.
