    Sustained elevation of MG53 in the bloodstream increases tissue regenerative capacity without compromising metabolic function

    MG53 is a muscle-specific TRIM-family protein that presides over the cell membrane repair response. Here, we show that MG53 present in blood circulation acts as a myokine to facilitate tissue injury-repair and...
