Abstract excerpt
To determine the role of the nerve on the establishment of myofiber diversity in skeletal muscles, the lumbosacral spinal cord of 14-day gestation mice (E14) was laser ablated, and the accumulation of the myosin alkali light chains (MLC) mRNAs in crural (hindleg) muscles was evaluated just prior to birth with in situ hybridization. Numbers of molecules of each alkali MLC/ng total RNA in the extensor digitorum...
