MyD88 promotes myoblast fusion in a cell-autonomous manner
Myoblast fusion is essential for skeletal muscle development and regeneration. Here the authors show that MyD88 is upregulated during myogenesis and during muscle growth, signals via the NF-κB and Wnt pathways, and that its expression modulates myoblast fusion and myofiber size in mice.
