Using insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)-overexpressing transgenic (Tg) mice as a model, we have shown that IGF-I promotes myelination by increasing the number of oligodendrocytes and stimulating the expression of myelin-specific protein genes. In the present study, we investigated whether IGF-I p
Genes expressed in skeletal muscle are often required in other tissues. This is particularly the case for cardiac and smooth muscle, both contractile tissues that share numerous characteristics with skeletal muscle, such that targeted inactivation can lead to embryonic lethality prior to a requireme
