Abstract:
:Muscular dystrophies (MD) are commonly characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass and function. It is hypothesized that therapeutic blockade of the TGF-β ligand myostatin, a negative regulator of muscle mass, will stimulate muscle growth and restore muscle function. Although many anti-myostatin targets are currently being pursued in the clinical setting, the efficacies of the tested molecules have shown mixed results. The patent WO2014043344 describes a novel approach for myostatin inhibition using a modified fibronectin type III domain that could potentially be used to treat MD and other muscle-related pathologies.
