Electrophysiological properties of the membrane and acetylcholine receptor in developing rat and chick myotubes. [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1975 Membrane properties of rat and chick myotubes in various stages of development were studied. Resting membrane potentials (Em) increased from -8 to -55 mV in both rat and chick as the myotubes developed from myoblasts to large multinucleated fibers.

Evidence that coated vesicles transport acetylcholine receptors to the surface membrane of chick myotubes. [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1984 Coated vesicles are present in the myoplasm of embryonic chick myotubes grown in vitro. They are most numerous beneath regions of the surface membrane that contain a high density of acetylcholine receptors (AChR). Prolonged exposure of myotubes to saline extract of chick brain increases the number of intracellular AChR and the number of coated vesicles.

The Role of Embryonic Chick Muscle Cell Culture in the Study of Skeletal Myogenesis
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The mechanisms involved in the development of skeletal muscle fibers have been studied in the last 70 years and yet many aspects of this process are still not completely understood.

Myotube heterogeneity in developing chick craniofacial skeletal muscles [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 1999 Avian skeletal muscles consist of myotubes that can be categorized according to contraction and fatigue properties, which are based largely on the types of myosins and metabolic enzymes present in the cells. Most mature muscles in the head are mixed, but they display a variety of ratios and distributions of fast and slow muscle cells.

Transport and Secretion of the Wnt3 Ligand by Motor Neuron-like Cells and Developing Motor Neurons
Biomolecules, 2021 The vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is formed by a presynaptic motor nerve terminal and a postsynaptic muscle specialization. Cumulative evidence reveals that Wnt ligands secreted by the nerve terminal control crucial steps of NMJ synaptogenesis.

Regulation of Autophagy in Chick Skeletal Muscle: Effect of mTOR Inhibition
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2020 Autophagy in the skeletal muscle increases under catabolic conditions resulting in muscle atrophy. This study investigated the effect of inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) on autophagy in chick skeletal muscle.

The role of Na+/K+-ATPase during chick skeletal myogenesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The formation of a vertebrate skeletal muscle fiber involves a series of sequential and interdependent events that occurs during embryogenesis. One of these events is myoblast fusion which has been widely studied, yet not completely understood.
