Impaired Muscle Regeneration

Caption

This microscopy image, taken ten days after injury, shows that the muscle fibers of normal mice (left) had re-grown, while in mice which couldn’t boost C/EBPb production (right), there were still many fibers that had not regenerated (arrowheads), and the tissue had a number of scars (arrows).
