METHODS FOR TREATING DENERVATION-INDUCED MUSCLE ATROPHY

摘要

The present invention provides methods for the treatment of denervation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy, and generally, denervation-induced skeletal muscle degeneration diseases using agents that decrease the activity of mammalian target of rapamycin and/or the activity of at least one of the Forkhead Box Transcription Factors 1, 3 and 4.
