Abstract
We compared the time course of myogenic events in vivo in regenerating whole muscle grafts in MyoD(-/-) and control BALB/c adult mice using immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry with antibodies to desmin and myosin revealed a striking delay by about 3 days in the formation of myotubes in MyoD(-/-) autografts compared with BALB/c mice. However, myotube formation was not prevented, and autografts in both strains appeared similar by 8 days. Electron microscopy confirmed myotube formation in 8- but not 5-day MyoD(-/-) grafts. This pattern was not influenced by cross-transplantation experiments between strains examined at 5 days. Antibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen demonstrated an elevated level of replication by MyoD(-/-) myoblasts in autografts, and replication was sustained for about 3 days compared with controls. These data indicate that the delay in the onset of differentiation and hence fusion is related to extended proliferation of the MyoD(-/-) myoblasts. Overall, although muscle regeneration was delayed it was not impaired in MyoD(-/-) mice in this model.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
