As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration as ...

HGF nitration disrupts muscle homeostasis as an organism age. The new rat anti-HGF monoclonal antibody the research team developed, called 1H41C10, specially binds to the nitration sites of HGF and ...
