There are many different things that contribute to the elasticity of muscles‚ but the focus of Aboodarda and colleagues is specifically on myofascia‚ the irregular dense connective tissue that connects and encompasses every muscle and organ in the body‚ as it is the component that is thought to have responsibility for the elasticity of muscle tissues. As a response to injury‚ among other factors‚ myofascia may bond to abutting structures and contract‚ which may cause adhesions. These adhesions may

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle is able to repair itself through regeneration. However‚ an injured muscle often does not fully recover its strength because complete muscle regeneration is hindered by the development of fibrosis. Biological approaches to improve muscle healing by enhancing muscle regeneration and reducing the formation of fibrosis are being investigated. Previously‚ we have determined that insulin-like growth factor–1 (IGF-1) can improve muscle regeneration in injured muscle. We also have
