The people behind the papers - Daniel Osborn, Kuoyu Li and Simon Hughes

A crucial step in vertebrate muscle development is the activation of myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) that direct myogenesis. A new paper in Development investigates the roles of Fgf signalling and Tbx transcription factors in zebrafish MRF induction. We caught up with the paper's two first authors, Daniel Osborn and Kuoyu Li, and their supervisor Simon Hughes, MRC Scientist and Professor of Developmental Cell Biology at King's College London, to hear more about the story.
