Mechanisms governing protective pregnancy-induced adaptions of the pelvic floor muscles in the rat pre-clinical model

This study investigates how mechanical load during pregnancy affects pelvic floor muscle adaptations in rats, finding that load alone can induce structural changes that partially protect against birth injury.

The role of muscle stem cells and fibro-adipogenic progenitors in female pelvic floor muscle regeneration following birth injury

This study shows that muscle stem cells and fibro-adipogenic progenitors are essential for pelvic floor muscle recovery after birth injury, as their loss impairs regeneration in a rat model.

Isolation of muscle stem cells from rat skeletal muscles

This paper develops and validates a protocol for isolating muscle stem cells from rat skeletal muscles using CD106 as a marker.
