Follistatin Research for Age-Related Muscle Loss

An evidence-based overview of research examining Follistatin in the context of age-related muscle loss. This page synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed literature.

Research Summary

AAV-mediated follistatin overexpression improved muscle and neuromuscular-junction measures in aged mice. A 2026 registry entry for AAV9-FST with or without a VEGF plasmid describes an early human safety study, not an established anti-aging or sarcopenia treatment.
