Abstract excerpt
To determine which combination of skeletal muscle-derived neurotrophic factors may be important for the survival of specific subpopulations of developing spinal cord motor neurons, we used Myf5 and MyoD (myogenic regulatory factors) knockouts, containing differentially committed myogenic precursor cells (MPCc) and immunohistochemistry against several muscle-secreted neurotrophic factors. At the peak of motor...
