Gene expression profiling of skeletal myogenesis in human embryonic stem cells reveals a potential cascade of transcription factors regulating stages of myogenesis, including quiescent/activated satellite cell-like gene expression.

Human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived skeletal muscle progenitors (SMP)-defined as PAX7-expressing cells with myogenic potential-can provide an abundant source of donor material for muscle stem cell therapy. As in vitro myogenesis is decoupled from in vivo timing and 3D-embryo structure, it is im...
