Head muscle progenitors and trunk muscle progenitors: developmental time course
Summary:
Analysis of pharyngeal mesoderm (PM) myogenic progenitors and trunk myogenic progenitors from E9.5 - E11.5 embryos. During embryogenesis, certain heart and craniofacial muscles arise from PM progenitors. Results provide insight into role of PM regulatory network in myogenesis and cardiogenesis.
