Muscle Baby

Pictured with this article is a 7-month-old baby from Germany. He has a genetic deficiency in myostatin, leading to increased muscle mass and tone. Hence, the baby pictured here is ridiculously buff. Furthermore, his genetic code could hold the key to myostatin-blocking drugs that prevent wasting diseases.

Who'd've thought the uberman would end up coming from Germany?

Other creatures have been known to have myostatin inhibition, such as the Bully Whippet, Wendy. Hit the jump for a blog with a video of this monstrous canine in action. http://mylittledog.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/meet-wendy-the-bully-whippet/
