Myofibrillogenesis has been studied extensively over the last 100 years. Recent advances in molecular techniques combined with classical embryology as well as cell biology have started to unravel some of the complexities of myofibril assembly in vertebrate heart/striated muscles. This volume is a comprehensive reference to the various aspects of myofibrillogenesis in vertebrates. "Myofibrillogenesis" will prove valuable to researchers and students in the field of striated and cardiac muscle.
