myogenesis
Myogenesis is the process by which muscle tissue is formed. It involves the differentiation of myoblasts, which are precursor cells, into mature muscle fibers. This process is crucial during embryonic development and also plays a role in muscle repair and regeneration after injury.
During myogenesis, various signaling pathways and transcription factors regulate the development of muscle cells. Key proteins, such as myogenin and MyoD, help guide myoblasts to fuse and form multinucleated muscle fibers. Understanding myogenesis is important for developing treatments for muscle-related diseases and injuries.
