Myogenesis is the formation of muscular tissue, particularly during embryonic development. Muscle fibers generally form from the fusion of myoblasts into multi-nucleated fibers called myotubes. In the early development of an embryo, myoblasts can either proliferate, or differentiate into a myotube. What controls this choice in vivo is generally unclear.

Thatâs the âland-grantâ in âland-grant university.â The Morrill Act universities were established to teach agricultural and mechanical arts, as well as military science. In North Carolina, the law birthed the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (now NC State).
