Several signaling pathways are crucial for regulating muscle development:
Wnt Signaling: This pathway is involved in the initial stages of myoblast differentiation. Notch Signaling: Notch signaling helps regulate the balance between myoblast proliferation and differentiation. Hedgehog Pathway: This pathway plays a role in the growth and patterning of muscle tissues. Myostatin: This protein inhibits muscle growth, ensuring that muscle development does not proceed uncontrollably.
