Where this comes from

Abstract

Previously, skeletal muscle regeneration appeared to be very different from embryonic specification of muscle, but in this issue of Cell, Polesskaya et al. show that Wnt signaling induces myogenesis in adult muscle stem cells in a manner analogous to muscle induction in the somite.
