CRISPR‐Cas9–induced IGF1 gene activation as a tool for enhancing muscle differentiation via multiple isoform expression
25 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Muscle wasting, or muscle atrophy, can occur with age, injury, and disease; it affects the quality of life and complicates treatment. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is a key positive regulator of muscle mass. The IGF1/Igf1 gene encodes multiple protein isoforms that differ in tissue expression, potency, and function, particularly in cellular proliferation and differentiation, as well as in systemic versus...
