Myogenesis
Videos
Myogenesis is the formation of skeletal muscular tissue, particularly during embryonic development. Muscle fibers generally form through the fusion of precursor myoblasts into multinucleated fibers ca
Myoblasts (cells with a single nucleus, represented in violet) fusing together to form muscle fibers (multinucleated muscle cells) during myogenesis

Somite
Videos
The somites are a set of bilaterally paired blocks of paraxial mesoderm that form in the embryonic stage of somitogenesis, along the head-to-tail axis in segmented animals. In vertebrates, somites sub

…satellite cells have an important role in not only muscle development, but in the maintenance of muscle through adulthood. During embryogenesis, the dermomyotome and/or myotome in the somites contain the myogenic progenitor cells that will evolve into the prospective skeletal muscle. The determination of…
