Deskripsi

The transcriptional programs of nuclei in the muscle syncytium were assumed to be homogenous except at the neuromuscular and myotendinous junctions. Here, using single-nucleus transcriptomics, the authors reveal a previously unrecognized diversity and dynamics of myonuclear transcriptional programs.
