Evidence for distinct fast and slow myogenic cell lineages in human foetal skeletal muscle.

Journal of muscle research and cell motility - 1 May 1998

Ghosh S, Dhoot G K

Abstract excerpt

To analyse the myogenic cell lineages in human foetal skeletal muscle, muscle cell cultures were prepared from different foetal stages of development. The in vitro muscle cell phenotype was defined by staining the myotubes with antibodies to fast and slow skeletal muscle type myosin heavy chains...
