Increasing lean muscle mass in mice via nanoparticle-mediated hepatic delivery of follistatin mRNADOI: 10.7150/thno.27847 Keywords: mRNA, polymeric nanoparticles, muscle atrophy, follistatin, activin A, myostatin Abstract: Muscle atrophy occurs during chronic diseases, resulting in diminished quality of life and compromised treatment outcomes. There is a high demand for therapeutics that increase muscle mass while abrogating the need for special dietary and exercise requirements. Therefore, we developed an efficient nanomedicine approach capable of increasing muscle mass.
