Skeletal Muscle Rebuilding

I just have to brag on UT Austin today.  Another excellent research project from Dr. Roger Farrar, one of my kinesiology professors, on rebuilding skeletal muscle in patients with limbs injured in accidents such as shark bites and IEDs (improvised explosive devices).  This is something that has never been accomplished before.

Dr. Farrar's research was funded by a 3-year, $550,000 grant from the U. S. Army and will greatly benefit wounded soldiers.
