A role for Insulin-like growth factor 2 in specification of the fast skeletal muscle fibre
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Fibre type specification is a poorly understood process beginning in embryogenesis in which skeletal muscle myotubes switch myosin-type to establish fast, slow and mixed fibre muscle groups with distinct function. Growth factors are...
