Abstract excerpt
A differentiating system based on embryonic stem (ES) cell-derived embryoid bodies (EBs) which recapitulates the in vivo cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle myogenesis of mouse embryos was developed and used to investigate the effects of the disruption of the desmin gene on muscle cell differentiation. Wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous cell lines with the mutated desmin allele were evaluated. Skeletal...
