The migration of limb myogenic precursors from limb level somites to their ultimate site of
differentiation in the limb is a paradigmatic example of a set of dynamic and orchestrated …

The homeobox gene Lbx1 is expressed in migrating hypaxial muscle precursor cells during
development. These precursors delaminate from the lateral edge of the dermomyotome and …

In mammalian embryos, myogenic precursor cells emigrate from the ventral lip of the
dermomyotome and colonize the limbs, tongue and diaphragm where they differentiate and …

In vertebrates all skeletal muscles of trunk and limbs are derived from condensations of the
paraxial mesoderm, the somites. Limb muscle precursor cells migrate during embryogenesis …

During vertebrate embryogenesis, myogenic precursor cells of limb muscles delaminate
from the ventro-lateral edge of the somitic dermomyotome and migrate to the limb buds …

Limb buds develop from lateral plate-derived stationary mesenchyme and are invaded by
cells from extrinsic regions. The largest populations of these cells are myogenic precursor …

We have examined lbx1 expression in early X. laevis tadpoles. In contrast to amniotes, lbx1
is expressed in all of the myoblasts that contribute to the body wall musculature, as well as in …

Somites are the source of hypaxial musculature including skeletal muscles of the limb,
tongue, and trunk. To get insight into the function of mouse Lbx1 homeobox gene in early …

In order to identify prospective limb muscle cells in a frog, we cloned Lbx1 from the direct
developing frog Eleutherodactylus coqui. Like in embryos of the frog Xenopus laevis but …

During embryogenesis, skeletal muscle forms in the vertebrate limb from progenitor cells
originating in the somites. These cells delaminate from the hypaxial edge of the dorsal part …
