A rare population of endothelial cells emerges from a bipotent muscle progenitor population in the paraxial mesoderm and provides niche support to induce hematopoietic stem cells.

A medaka mutant revealed that Wnt11 promotes formation of uniquely large protrusions from non-myogenic dorsal dermomyotome cells, which guide the epaxial myotome dorsally to achieve the coverage of the neural tube.

Skeletal muscle organoids differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells offer a system for investigating myogenesis and satellite cell development with translational potential for muscular dystrophy modeling and therapy development.

Genetic and biochemical approaches identify a new component of the cellular signaling machinery driving migration of limb muscle precursor cells during mouse embryogenesis and reveal the underlying molecular mechanism.

Human somites are formed in organoids from human pluripotent stem cells.

Using multiple genetic reporter system in human pluripotent stem cells, a transcriptional database for human early myogenesis has been established.

A novel mechanism links mechanical signals with the molecular YAP and NOTCH signals operating during developmental myogenesis.

In chick skeletal muscle, an incoming signal leads to two interdependent outcomes: a cell fate change and an epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

The juxtacrine signaling molecule EphA7, when expressed on terminally-differentiated myocytes, non-cell-autonomously induces adjacent myoblasts to also commit to terminal differentiation leading to rapid coordinated differentiation across the entire population.

Specification and expansion during rib development is explained by Agent-Based Modeling while respecting the locality of decision-making that occurs as millions of cells coordinate their behavior to form and refine spatial pattern.
