Deskripsi

Mammalian skeletal muscle is composed of multinucleated myofibers, containing hundreds of nuclei that coordinate cellular function. Here, the authors show that single-nucleus RNA-sequencing reveals rare and emergent myonuclear populations, and uncovers dynamic transcriptional heterogeneity in development and aging.
