GDF-8
GDF-8 (Growth Differentiation Factor 8), commonly known as myostatin, is a negative regulator of muscle growth. By inhibiting muscle development, GDF-8 plays a key role in maintaining muscle mass homeostasis. Research on GDF-8 has gained traction for its potential in muscle growth, fat loss, and therapeutic applications in muscle-wasting diseases. By studying GDF-8, scientists aim…
