Follistatin 344

Potential Benefits of Follistatin 344 Peptide

• Orthopedic Applications: Research suggests Follistatin has shown potential in inhibiting myostatin, a protein that inhibits muscle growth. This property could have significant implications in orthopedics, potentially helping with muscle regeneration and growth [1].
• Treatment of Muscular Dystrophy: Studies have demonstrated that follistatin can potentially increase therapeutic benefits in muscular dystrophy. In one study, an antibody against the HA tag present on the follistatin-344 gene was used as a probe [2]. Another study showed that micro-dystrophin and follistatin co-delivery restored muscle function in an aged DMD model [3].
• Muscle Regeneration: Studies on an engineered follistatin therapeutic showed promise for improving muscle regeneration [4].
• Increasing Lean Muscle Mass: A study involving mice demonstrated that nanoparticle-mediated hepatic delivery of follistatin mRNA resulted in increased lean muscle mass [5].
• Localized hypertrophy of skeletal muscle: Research findings indicate that ACE-083, a follistatin-based ligand trap, has demonstrated functional improvement in neuromuscular disease models through the induction of localized hypertrophy of skeletal muscle [6].
• Becker Muscular Dystrophy Trial: In research, a phase 1/2a follistatin gene therapy trial for Becker muscular dystrophy showed potential benefits [7].
