Breed-dependent microRNA expression in the primary culture of skeletal muscle cells subjected to myogenic differentiation

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle in livestock develops into meat, an important source of protein and other nutrients for human consumption. The muscle is largely composed of a fixed number of multinucleated myofibers determined during late gestation and remains constant postnatally. A population of postnatal muscle stem cells, called satellite cells, gives rise to myoblast cells that can fuse with the existing...
