Transfection of a DNA locus that mediates the conversion of 10T1/2 fibroblasts to myoblasts.

abstract：:Peptide hormone fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) has insulin-mimetic properties. Dutchak et al. now suggest that FGF21 also acts in an autocrine fashion in adipocytes and is required to mediate effects of the PPARγ agonist class of antidiabetic drugs. Does this new property improve FGF21's fledgling clinical prospe...
