Growth control: action mouse.

Current biology : CB - 1 Aug 1997

Slack J M

Abstract excerpt

A recently described knockout mouse has abnormally large muscles. The phenotype suggests that the ablated product, growth differentiation factor 8 or 'myostatin', may be one of the long sought inhibitors that control the growth of individual tissues and organs.
