The Trithorax protein Ash1L promotes myoblast fusion by activating Cdon expression

Myoblast fusion in skeletal muscle is a complex process but how this is regulated is unclear. Here, the authors identify Ash1L, a histone methyltransferase, as modulating myoblast fusion via activation of the myogenesis gene Cdon, and observe decreased Ash1L expression in Duchenne muscular dystrophy...

Sumario:Myoblast fusion in skeletal muscle is a complex process but how this is regulated is unclear.
