Since the seminal discovery of the cell-fate regulator Myod, studies in skeletal myogenesis
have inspired the search for cell-fate regulators of similar potential in other tissues and …

In this review, we explore the connections between epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT)
and differentiation status. EMTs in development have been described as differentiation …

Cell therapies treating pathological muscle atrophy or damage requires an adequate
quantity of muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) not currently attainable from adult donors. Here …

Both skeletal muscle and bone are of mesodermal origin and derived from somites during
embryonic development. Somites differentiate into the dorsal dermomyotome and the ventral …

Skin melanocytes arise from two sources: either directly from neural crest progenitors or
indirectly from neural crest-derived Schwann cell precursors after colonization of peripheral …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential
to differentiate into various types of cells including skeletal muscle cells. The approach of …

This review describes the formation, structure, and function of bony compartments in antlers,
horns, ossicones, osteoderm and the os penis/os clitoris (collectively referred to herein as …

Muscle regeneration is an important homeostatic process of adult skeletal muscle that
recapitulates many aspects of embryonic myogenesis. Satellite cells (SCs) are the main …

The neural crest is a unique, transient stem cell population that is critical for craniofacial and
ocular development. Understanding the genetics underlying the steps of neural crest …

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a central process during embryonic
development that affects selected progenitor cells of all three germ layers. In addition to …
