MOLECULAR MECHANISMS REGULATING SKELETAL MUSCLE GROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION

(WYO-411-07)

Enhancing lean growth in livestock is crucial for the sustainability and profitability of the animal industry. Myogenic cells derived from precursor cells have a crucial role in skeletal muscle growth. The effect of nutrient and other external factors on the development of myogenic precursor cells are poorly studied. The purpose of this project is to show these underlying mechanisms, which will be important for enhancing lean growth in livestock.
