We investigated the effects of embryonic temperature (ET) treatments (22, 26 and 31° C) on
the life-time recruitment of fast myotomal muscle fibres in zebrafish Danio rerio L. reared at …

Background Several miRNAs are known to control myogenesis in vertebrates. Some of them
are specifically expressed in muscle while others have a broader tissue expression but are …

Recent research has significantly broadened our understanding of how the teleost somite is
patterned to achieve embryonic and postembryonic myogenesis. Medial (adaxial) cells and …

Muscle cell recruitment (hyperplasia) during myogenesis in the vertebrate embryo is known
to occur in three consecutive phases. In teleost fish (including zebrafish), however …

Embryonic development in teleosts is profoundly affected by environmental conditions,
particularly temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations. The environment determines …

Although the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has been widely utilized as a model organism for
several decades, there is little information available on physiological variation underlying …

The importance of microRNAs in development is now widely accepted. However, identifying
the specific targets of individual microRNAs and understanding their biological significance …

Simple Summary Muscle plasticity is defined as the ability of the muscle to respond to
changes in environmental conditions. Muscle plasticity is exceptionally dynamic in fish; this …

The influence of changes in environmental temperature on the mRNA levels of myogenic
regulatory factors (MRFs), ie MyoD and myogenin, as well as myosin heavy chain (MyHC) …

The effect of early (embryonic and larval) thermal history on subsequent (juvenile) white
muscle hyperplasia was studied in a teleost fish, the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus …
