Because many people suffer from muscle wasting not only us copders.
I am still hoping that thGR is the answer or something like it.
They are going to use it for HIV.

So untill I get the answer about thGR trials?.
And as I live on the other side of the pond and its to far to swim to Canada,lol, I will have to wait.
I posted this sometime ago.Remember never give up.
Regeneration capacity
The Berkeley team compared muscle regeneration capacity of two-year-old mice - comparable in age to a human aged 75-85 - to that in two-month old mice, comparable to a human aged 20-25.
As expected, they found the muscle tissue in the young mice easily replaced damaged cells with healthy new cells, while areas of damaged muscle in the older animals was full of scar tissue.
But when they effectively disabled the "ageing pathway" by blocking production of a key protein called TGF-beta, the level of cellular regeneration in the older animals was comparable the much younger mice.
However, the researchers warned that closing down the ageing pathway completely could run a risk of many health problems, for instance the ability to suppress cell division is key to controlling the development of cancer.
Lead researcher Dr Irina Conboy said the key was to find the right balance between the biochemical pathway which promoted healing, and that which promoted ageing.
"We need to find out what the levels of these chemicals are in the young so we can calibrate the system when we're older.
"If we can do that, we could rejuvenate tissue repair for a very long time."
