Abstract excerpt
Limb muscle development is characterized by the migration of muscle precursor cells from the somite followed by myoblast differentiation and the maturation of myotubes into distinct muscle fiber types. Previous in vitro experiments have suggested that rat limb myoblasts are composed of at least two distinct myoblast subpopulations that appear in the developing hindlimb at different developmental stages. These...
