Injecting genes to block myostatin [a substance that curbs muscle growth] could help not only those with muscular dystrophy but also anyone suffering the routine loss of musculature that comes with aging. To keep muscles from ballooning, most vertebrates have a natural brake--a protein called myostatin (MY-uh-STATin). Previous studies of the gene in animals had suggested that myostatin restrains muscle growth during development and adult life. |
