Distinctive morphological and gene/protein expression signatures during myogenesis in novel cell lines from extraocular and hindlimb muscle

Abstract excerpt

Skeletal muscles are not created equal. The underutilized concept of muscle allotypes defines distinct muscle groups that differ in their intrinsic capacity to express novel traits when exposed to a facilitating extrinsic environment. Allotype-specific traits may have significance as determinants of the preferential involvement or sparing of muscle groups that is observed in a variety of neuromuscular diseases....
