Abstract

The tumor necrosis factor-[alpha] (TNF[alpha])-mediated inhibition of myogenic differentiation is found to be dependent on p53 through a PW1-mediated pathway. The p53 plays a novel role in mediating muscle stem cell behavior and muscle atrophy, and has pointed towards new targets for the therapeutic treatment of muscle wasting (cachexia).
