Myoblasts

Patent Granted A myoblast is a type of embryonic progenitor cell that differentiates to give rise to muscle cells.[11] Skeletal muscle fibers are made when myoblasts fuse together; muscle fibers therefore have multiple nuclei (each nucleus originating from a single myoblast). The fusion of myoblasts is specific to skeletal muscle (e.g., biceps brachii) and not cardiac muscle or smooth muscle.
