Transcriptional regulation and alternative splicing cooperate in muscle fiber-type specification in flies and mammals
19 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Muscles coordinate body movements throughout the animal kingdom. Each skeletal muscle is built of large, multi-nucleated cells, called myofibers, which are classified into several functionally distinct types. The typical fiber-type composition of each muscle arises during development, and in mammals is extensively adjusted in response to postnatal exercise. Understanding how functionally distinct muscle...
