Formation of acetylcholine receptor clusters in chick myotubes: migration or new insertion? [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1989 Experiments were performed to study the feasibility of two mechanisms of acetylcholine receptor (ACHR) accumulation in chick myotubes: diffusion and trapping of previously dispersed surface receptors and localized insertion of new receptors at accumulation sites.

Increased K+ inhibits spontaneous contractions reduces myosin accumulation in cultured chick myotubes. [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 1982 Increasing the K+ from 5.4 mM to 12 mM in the culture medium of developing chick myotubes causes an immediate cessation of spontaneous contractions and leads to an inhibition of myosin accumulation. The synthesis of myosin continues at the same rate in 12 mM K+ as in 5.4 mM K+ as measured by [3H]leucine incorporation into myosin corrected for ...

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.

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2022 Protein synthesis in skeletal muscle is considered one of the most energy-consuming cellular processes. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a metabolic master switch that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism, and it is implicated in protein ...

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.

Bioengineering, 2021 Engineered in vitro models of skeletal muscle are essential for efficiently screening drug safety and efficacy. However, conventional culture substrates poorly replicate physical features of native muscle and do not support long-term culture, which ...

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.
