## What is Follistatin? Follistatin was first identified in the late 1980s, when researchers discovered that it could block the activity of myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. This finding sparked a great deal of interest in the scientific community, and over the next several years, researchers began to uncover more information about the protein's structure and function. One of the key breakthroughs came in 1997, when scientists discovered that a genetic mutation in a bree
