Infographic: NC1184: Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Skeletal Muscle Growth and Differentiation

By: Sally E Johnson

One of the longest standing regional projects, the NC1184 group consists of 26 member agriculture experiment stations with a rich history of benchtop discovery in muscle biology with translation to the meat and livestock production sectors. The multidisciplinary efforts are focused on

1. The molecular mechanisms controlling skeletal muscle tissue growth, development and composition.
2. Signal transduction pathways that regulate skeletal muscle metabolism.
3. Mechanisms of protein synthesis and degradation in skeletal muscle.
