Myosin is a major component of the sarcomeres of muscle, but its roles during muscle development are still relatively poorly understood. A new paper in Development investigates the function of a developmentally expressed myosin heavy chain isoform during mice myogenesis. We caught up with the paper's four co-first authors, Megha Agarwal, Akashi Sharma, Pankaj Kumar and Amit Kumar, and their supervisor Sam Mathew (Associate Professor in the Regional Centre for Biotechnology in Faridabad, India) to find out more about the project.
