• Scientists studied how myoblasts differentiate into mature muscle cells.
• The regeneration of muscle tissue depends on the activation of dormant myoblasts.
• Researchers isolated myoblasts from tissue samples to conduct in vitro experiments.
• Myoblasts express specific markers that distinguish them from other cell types.
