The key to proper muscle growth

When a muscle grows, because its owner is still growing too or has started exercising regularly, some of the stem cells in this muscle develop into new muscle cells. The same thing happens when an injured muscle starts to heal. At the same time, however, the muscle stem cells must produce further stem cells—i.e., renew themselves—as their supply would otherwise be depleted very quickly. This requires that the cells involved in muscle growth communicate with each other.
