The largest cell of the body and main cell of skeletal muscle, the myofibre, is vital for overall health as it produces physical forces for breathing and movement. Additionally, myofibres play a crucial role in metabolic health through regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, and serving as the primary store of amino acids for protein synthesis for all tissues (Wolfe, 2006). Myofibre damage is, therefore, a threat to these essential functions and requires rapid and complete repair.
