Non-neural influences in the determination of chick skeletal muscle
Abstract:
The technique of chicken-quail hybridization in "in vitro" cultures was used. Muscle differentiation of 9 H.H. chick embryo somites without the participation of nerve fibres was noted when they were cultured in the presence of quail pectoral muscle cells. It is suggested that this non-neural model may also be valid "in vivo", and that it probably interacts with the neurodependent mechanism demonstrated in a previous paper.

Formation of Muscle Fibers from Myoblasts
Muscle progenitor cells (MPCs) are formed from the myotomes. MPCs express genes that encode the transcription factors Pax3 and Pax7. Along with Pax 3/7, other transcription factors...
