The deep back (or epaxial) muscles of amniotes derive from the transient myotomes, segmented embryonic muscles that develop from the delamination and differentiation of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) from the overlying dermomyotome. During embryonic development, myogenesis is ensured by the activation of key transcription factors: Myf5, Mrf4, MyoD and Myogenin. The main goal of this thesis was to investigate the role of the myotome in epaxial muscle development. In Chapter 2, a technique of culturing mouse embryo explants was developed, which allowed us to study the in vivo ex utero development of the epaxial myotome and its extracellular matrix (ECM). In Chapter 3, we analysed to what extent the myotome is necessary for later epaxial muscle ...
