Modulation of caspase activity regulates skeletal muscle regeneration and function in response to vasopressin and tumor necrosis factor.

Modulation of caspase activity regulates skeletal muscle regeneration and function in response to vasopressin and tumor necrosis factor.

Muscle homeostasis involves de novo myogenesis, as observed in conditions of acute or chronic muscle damage. Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) triggers skeletal muscle wasting in several pathological conditions and inhibits muscle regeneration. We show that intramuscular treatment with the myogenic factor...
