Abstract

Recent advances in understanding of skeletal muscle differentiation implicate fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) as regulators of myogenesis; however, the identity and actions of factors that repress myogenesis in vivo remain to be established. This review will focus on the fibroblast growth factor family and the evidence for its role in regulating myogenesis in culture and in vivo.
