Cultured myf5 null and myoD null muscle precursor cells display distinct growth defects.

Abstract excerpt

Myf-5 and MyoD are the two muscle regulatory factors expressed from the myoblast stage to maintain the identity and to promote the subsequent differentiation of muscle precursor cells. To get insight into their role we have studied the capacity to proliferate and to differentiate of myf-5 and myoD null myoblasts in primary cultures and in the subsequent passages. Our results indicate that myf-5 null myoblasts...
