Myogenic Differentiation

Myogenic differentiation is the process by which precursor cells develop into muscle cells. It involves a sequence of genetic and biochemical changes that activate specific genes responsible for muscle formation. During this process, stem or progenitor cells commit to becoming muscle cells, grow, and fuse with each other to form the multinucleated muscle fibers needed for muscle function. This process is crucial for muscle development, growth, repair, and regeneration, ensuring that muscles function properly throughout life.
