Canine Myoblast Cell Line

Description

Myogenesis is the process of skeletal muscular tissue formation, particularly during an early embryo development during which myoblasts can either proliferate or differentiate into a myotube. Myoblasts are thus early descentants of muscle cells. Myok9, a canine myoblast cell line, was extracted from a normal genotyped adult canine (mixed breed) and could be useful for researchers studying or evaluating pottential future therapies for skeletal muscle disorders (such as Duschenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), myotubular myopathy).
