Teleost muscle first arises in early embryonic life and its development is driven by molecules
present in the egg yolk and modulated by environmental stimuli including temperature and …

Myogenic cells in the body of vertebrates derive from the dorsal somite, the dermomyotome,
where multipotent cells are present. Regulation of cell fate choice is discussed, as is that of …

Myogenic regulatory factors of the Myod family (MRFs) are transcription factors essential for
mammalian skeletal myogenesis. However, the roles of each gene in myogenesis remain …

Mammalian skeletal muscles are composed of two major fibre types (I and II) that differ in
terms of size, metabolism and contractile properties. In general, slow‐twitch type I fibres are …

Approximately 20,000 genes are encoded in our genome, one tenth of which are thought to
be transcription factors. Considering the complexity and variety of cell types generated …

While the signaling pathways and transcription factors active in adult slow-and fast-type
muscles begin to be characterized, genesis of muscle fiber-type diversity during mammalian …

B lymphocyte induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp1) is a zinc finger transcriptional repressor
whose function as a master regulator of terminal differentiation of B cells into plasma cells …

Modifications of histone tails are involved in the regulation of a wide range of biological
processes including cell cycle, cell survival, cell division, and cell differentiation. Among the …

Introduction: Immobilization by casting induces disuse muscle atrophy (DMA). Methods:
Using wild type (WT) and caspase‐3 knockout (KO) mice, we evaluated the effect of caspase …

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that epigenetic regulation of gene
expression is critical during embryo development and subsequently during pre-and post …
