Follistatin Genes Strengthen Muscles in Monkeys  Four macaque
monkeys that received injections of genes for a protein called
follistatin into upper leg muscles experienced pronounced and
durable increases in muscle size and strength with no adverse
effects, say researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in
Columbus, Ohio, and Ohio State University.  The findings could
have implications for people with muscular dystrophies and other
muscle diseases, as well as muscle damage due to other
illnesses, injury or aging.
