Targeted Expression of IGF‐1 Transgene to Skeletal Muscle Accelerates Muscle and Motor Neuron Regeneration
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Currently, there is no known medical treatment that hastens the repair of damaged nerve and muscle. Using IGF-1 transgenic mice that specifically express human recombinant IGF-1 in skeletal muscle, we test the hypotheses that targeted gene expression of IGF-1 in skeletal muscle enhances motor nerve regeneration after a nerve crush injury. The IGF-1 transgene affects the initiation of the muscle repair process...
