Muscles You might have heard about the big muscle German kid. I passed this news along to one of my biology friends and he emailed this back:

But what I don't understand is that even with extra bulk, are all of the extra myoblasts fully functional. And are they innervated correctly. Myostatin regulates myoblast proliferation in embryonic development. In the case of muscular dystrophy, i really don't know how this would be useful since it REGULATES muscle. I don't know.

Biology is not my field, but I whole heartedly share his doubts.  ¶ 5:46 PM
