myonuclei

Myonuclei, also known as myonuclei, are small, spherical structures found within the cytoplasm of muscle cells. They are composed of DNA and histones, similar to the nuclei found in other cell types, and are responsible for the production of muscle proteins. Myonuclei are essential for muscle growth, repair, and function, as they contain the genetic information necessary for muscle cell differentiation and proliferation. They are typically found in the cytoplasm of muscle cells, where they can be seen as distinct, darkly stained structures under a microscope. Myonuclei play a crucial role in muscle development and maintenance, and their proper functioning is essential for overall muscle health and performance.
