A new study from his team shows that, following muscle injury, certain immune cells produce a protein called GDF3 that enhances formation of new muscle fibers. The discovery, published in Immunity, could lead to new ways to treat exercise-related injuries, age-dependent muscle loss, or even muscular dystrophy.
