Abstract
Myostatin is overexpressed in the PD plaque, partly because of myofibroblast generation. Although myostatin induces a plaque in the rat TA, it does not appear to mediate the one triggered by TGFβ1, thus suggesting that both proteins act concurrently and that therapy should target their common downstream effectors.
