The origin of skeletal muscle stem cells in the embryo and the adult

P Bailey et al. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 2001 Dec.

Abstract

Skeletal muscle progenitors are specified during embryogenesis and in addition have recently been found to be generated from either mesenchymal or neural stem cells in the adult. We review recent progress in identifying the signals and transcription factors that control skeletal muscle formation during embryogenesis and in the adult.
