Antimyostatin Treatment: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Camila Xu and Version 1 by Tue Nielsen.

Myostatin, also known as growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF-8), was identified in 1997 by McPherron and Lee.

  • myostatin
  • muscular dystrophy
  • muscular regeneration
  • ActRIIB
  • TGF-β
Please wait, diff process is still running!
