Muscle insulin-like growth factor-I modulates murine craniofacial bone growth [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2021 Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is essential for muscle and bone development and a primary mediator of growth hormone (GH) actions. While studies have elucidated the importance of IGF-I specifically in muscle or bone development, few studies to date
