Abstract excerpt
Myogenesis in vertebrate myocytes is promoted by activation of the phosphatidyl-inositol 3'-kinase (PI3 kinase) pathway and inhibited by fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling. We show that hyperactivation of the Caenorhabditis elegans FGF receptor, EGL-15, similarly inhibits the differentiation of the hermaphrodite sex muscles. Activation of the PI3 kinase signaling pathway can partially suppress this...
