  Abstract

A popular theory in the stem cell field is that ‘regeneration recapitulates development’, or that adult stem cells function similarly to embryonic ones. In a recent Nature article, Lepper et al. questioned this approach, highlighting the differences in requirements for Pax7 during myogenesis for embryonic, juvenile and adult muscle.
