... Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy Nuclear movement Muscle development Skeletal muscle cells are characterized in part by the many nuclei that share a common cytoplasm. After the many nuclei are incorporated by iterative rounds of fusion, nuclei undergo a complex set of movements that leave...

...Caroline Brennan; Maryam Mangoli; Clare E. F. Dyer; Rachel Ashworth Nerve activity is known to be an important regulator of muscle phenotype in the adult, but its contribution to muscle development during embryogenesis remains unresolved. We used the zebrafish embryo and in vivo imaging approaches...

...Susanne Burchard; Achim Paululat; Uwe Hinz; Renate Renkawitz-Pohl ABSTRACT In a search for mutations affecting embryonic muscle development in Drosophila we identified a mutation caused by the insertion of a P-element, which we called not enough muscles ( nem ). The phenotype of the P-element...

... and protein expression in thoracic than in abdominal segments? We have shown that the cellular contexts of the development of the connectin-positive muscles Th 21-24 and Ab 21-24 are quite distinct. In the thoracic segments the precursors for these muscles develop in proximity to a large cluster of connectin...

... is expressed during the development of the myogenic lineage and on adult muscle fibers and this suggests that it participates in multiple and diverse functions at different times during muscle development. One interesting portion of this isoform is its cytoplasmic domain; comprised of 77 amino acids...

... muscle development cytoskeleton The β 1 integrins are a family of cell surface molecules that mediate interactions between the extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton (reviewed by Buck and Horwitz, 1987 ; Hynes, 1987 , 1992 ). Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that integrins play...
