Abstract excerpt
The specification of different muscle cell types in the zebrafish embryo requires signals that emanate from the axial mesoderm. In previous studies we and others have shown that overexpression of different members of the Hedgehog protein family can induce the differentiation of two types of slow-twitch muscles, the superficially located slow-twitch fibres and the medially located muscle pioneer cells. Here we...
