Ab. Lassar et al., REGULATORY MECHANISMS THAT COORDINATE SKELETAL-MUSCLE DIFFERENTIATIONAND CELL-CYCLE WITHDRAWAL, Current opinion in cell biology, 6(6), 1994, pp. 788-794
Skeletal muscle differentiation entails the coupling of muscle-specifi
c gene expression to terminal withdrawal from the cell cycle. Several
models have recently been proposed which attempt to explain how regula
ted expression and function of myogenic transcription factors ensures
that proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells are mu
tually exclusive processes.
