Abstract excerpt
Follistatin (FS) is an important regulatory protein, a natural antagonist for transforming growth factor-β family members activin and myostatin. The diverse biologic roles of the activin and myostatin signaling pathways make FS a promising therapeutic target for treating human diseases exhibiting inflammation, fibrosis, and muscle disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, rapid heparin-mediated...
