Regulation of Muscle Mass by Follistatin and Activins [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010 Myostatin is a TGF-β family member that normally acts to limit skeletal muscle mass. Follistatin is a myostatin-binding protein that can inhibit myostatin activity in vitro and promote muscle growth in vivo. Mice homozygous for a mutation in the Fst gene have been shown to die immediately after birth but have a reduced amount of muscle tissue ...

Pectoralis muscle area and mortality in smokers without airflow obstruction
Respiratory Research, 2018 Background Low muscle mass is associated with increased mortality in the general population but its prognostic value in at-risk smokers, those without expiratory airflow obstruction, is unknown. We aimed to test the hypothesis that reduced muscle mass is

Toward Optimized VR/AR Ergonomics: Modeling and Predicting User Neck Muscle Contraction [PDF]
, 2023 Ergonomic efficiency is essential to the mass and prolonged adoption of VR/AR experiences. While VR/AR head-mounted displays unlock users' natural wide-range head movements during viewing, their neck muscle comfort is inevitably compromised by the added hardware weight.
