The embryological development of skeletal muscle begins with the fusion of mononucleated myoblasts that form myotubes, which then mature into myo-fibers (1). By late embryogenesis, myo-blasts found in the chicken fetus may be referred to as satellite cells, and they have predominantly adult characteristics (2). Satellite cells are located underneath the myofiber basal lamina along the entire length of the myofiber (3). Satellite cells are a mitotically active cell population (4), making it possible to label the cells with
