The molecular role of ADAM12 in maintenance of skeletal muscle, myogenesis and adipogenesis

了解骨骼肌生长的分子控制、肌肉和脂肪生产之间的维持和平衡对于具有竞争力的肉类工业、促进老龄化人口中强壮的肌肉以及肌肉疾病、糖尿病和肥胖症等疾病至关重要。该项目将加强强大的国际合作，扩大澳大利亚国内的尖端研究，为肉类行业、生物技术和健康带来许多潜在的经济利益。这项开创性研究开发的专业知识将确保澳大利亚处于有利地位，能够利用新技术，并利用这一快速发展的肌肉生物学领域的未来进展。

An understanding of the molecular control of skeletal muscle growth, maintenance and balance between muscle and fat production is of fundamental importance for a competitive meat industry, for the promotion of strong muscles in the ageing population and for disorders such as muscle diseases, diabetes and obesity. This project will enhance strong international collaborations and expand cutting-edge research within Australia with many potential economic benefits for the meat industry, biotechnology and health. The expertise developed by this pioneering research will ensure that Australia is well placed to harness new technologies and exploit future advances in this fast-moving field of muscle biology.
