A common somitic origin for embryonic muscle progenitors and satellite cells
Article Abstract:
The fate of dermomyotome cells from the early stages of somite differentiation through to hatching is traced to identify the origin of embryonic muscle progenitors and satellite cells. It is concluded that embryonic muscle progenitors and satellite cells share common origin that can be traced back to the dermomyotome.

The initiation of liver development is dependent on Foxa transcription factors
Article Abstract:
The Foxa transcription factors establish competence by opening compacted chromatin structures within liver-specific target genes. It is shown that Foxa1 and Foxa2 are required for the establishment of competence within the foregut endoderm and the onset of hepatogenesis.

One source for muscle
Article Abstract:
The generation and repair of skeletal muscle is highly ordered, multi-step process that requires many progenitor cells, and continues throughout embryonic, fetal, and postnatal life. It is seen that cells that share a common origin carry both of these tasks.
