The master regulator of muscle differentiation, MyoD, functions early in myogenesis to help stem cells proliferate in response to muscle injury, according to researchers. The master regulator of ...

MyoD is a transcriptional activator of skeletal myogenesis during embryonic and postnatal life. 1, 2, 3 Although MyoD is competent to activate transcription of target genes in differentiating muscle ...

Expression of the MyoD gene combined with exposure to three chemicals causes skin cells to become primitive muscle progenitors that can be maintained indefinitely in the lab and later coaxed into ...

Two years ago, a team of researchers led by Carmen Birchmeier, PhD, head of the developmental biology/signal transduction lab at the Berlin-based Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the ...

Scientists from the La Jolla-based Sanford Burnham Prebys medical research institute have made a discovery that they say “completely subverts” what scientists had known about certain proteins by ...

For more than 30 years, scientists have studied how the myogenic determination gene number 1 (MYOD) protein binds DNA to modify the gene expression of muscle stem cells. Similar to the instant kung fu ...

During development, many crucial genes help organisms form properly. One of those genes is myogenic determination gene number 1 (MyoD), which can exert a powerful influence as a “genome organizer." It ...

Alter just one section of the protein responsible for making a muscle cell a muscle cell — and it makes nerve cells instead March 19, 2015 • By Dr. Sabrina Richards / Fred Hutch News Service Muscle ...

For more than 30 years, scientists have studied how the myogenic determination gene number 1 (MYOD) protein binds DNA to modify the gene expression of muscle stem cells. Similar to the instant kung fu ...

The master regulator of muscle differentiation, MyoD, functions early in myogenesis to help stem cells proliferate in response to muscle injury, according to researchers at Case Western Reserve ...

BOSTON – Investigators who previously developed a recipe for turning skin cells into primitive muscle-like cells that can be maintained indefinitely in the lab without losing the potential to become ...
