Knockdown of myostatin expression by RNAi enhances muscle growth in transgenic sheep.

Knockdown of myostatin expression by RNAi enhances muscle growth in transgenic sheep.

Myostatin (MSTN) has been shown to be a negative regulator of skeletal muscle development and growth. MSTN dysfunction therefore offers a strategy for promoting animal growth performance in livestock production. In this study, we investigated the possibility of using RNAi-based technology to generat...
