Abstract excerpt

In order to study maturation and differentiation of aneural myotubes in vitro, long-term myotube cultures were established from hindlimb musculature of newborn rats. The developmental state of the myotubes was judged by their myosin heavy chain (HC) patterns. Newly formed myotubes only expressed...
