Critical Signaling Protein for Muscle Growth Described

Scientists at the University of Louisville say they have found that a well-known protein, myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), plays a critical role in the development and regeneration of muscles. Ashok Kumar, Ph.D., professor and distinguished university scholar in the department of anatomical sciences and neurobiology at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, led a team of researchers who have described the protein's importance in the growth and repair of skeleta
