Application of complementary luminescent and fluorescent imaging techniques to visualize nuclear and cytoplasmic Ca²⁺ signalling during the in vivo differentiation of slow muscle cells in zebrafish embryos under normal and dystrophic conditions.

Abstract excerpt

1. Evidence is accumulating for a role for Ca²⁺ signalling in the differentiation and development of embryonic skeletal muscle. 2. Imaging of intact, normally developing transgenic zebrafish that express the protein component of the Ca²⁺-sensitive complex aequorin, specifically in skeletal muscle, show that two distinct periods of spontaneous synchronised Ca²⁺ transients occur in the trunk: one at approximately...
