Core Tip	The translational relevance of animal models for tissue repair is often ambiguous. We describe here a murine model for the comparison of the regeneration of damaged human and murine skeletal muscle implants and the contribution of human and mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to this process. Our findings suggest that murine muscle tissue provides a suboptimal environment for maintenance of human MSC, and that in mouse models their capacity to engage in myoregeneration is underestimated. The added value of the present model is that it permits the dissection of species-specific factors in the microenvironment.
