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 cAMP-dependent protein kinase mediates the expression of AChE in chick myotubes
NeuroReport, 2000 Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide synthesized by motor neurons, stimulates the expression of AChR and AchE at the vertebrate neuromuscular junctions.

On the mechanism of acetylcholine receptor accumulation at newly formed synapses on chick myotubes [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1985 We have examined the specificity and the mechanism of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) accumulation at embryonic chick nerve-muscle contacts that form in culture.

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.

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.
