Biologists at NCBS, Bangalore have identified stem-cell like myogenic progenitors giving rise to adult flight muscles and delineated the mechanism of regulation of proliferation of these cells via the neighbouring epidermal cells. This work by Rajesh Gunage, from the laboratory of K. VijayRaghavan, is a promising step towards building an understanding of muscle biology in the context of muscle regeneration.
