Following muscle injury, fibro‐adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are rapidly activated and undergo apoptosis at the resolution stage, which is required for proper muscle regeneration. When excessive FAPs remain, it contributes to fibrotic and fatty infiltration, impairing muscle recovery. Mechanisms controlling FAP apoptosis remain poorly defined. We hypothesized that AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) in FAPs mediates their apoptosis during the muscle regeneration.
