Cover Story: Fibrotic tissue deposition is generally associated with an altered interplay among the different cell components in muscle tissue, affecting regenerative processes. The expression of soluble mediators, including cytokines and growth factors, can modulate cell–cell communication, regulating critical steps of muscle healing, including regenerative fibrogenesis and myogenesis. In particular, IGF-1 and physiological levels of IL-6 play important roles in muscle regeneration, exerting a pro-myogenic activity, whereas elevated levels of IL-6 negatively impact muscle repair. Here, we focus on cellular and molecular mediators of skeletal muscle fibrosis and discuss how the altered expression of specific niche factors can impinge on the homeostatic mechanisms of tissue repair.
