In aged skeletal muscle models, NNMT inhibitor treatment increased proliferating/active muscle stem cells by 60-75% following injury, myofiber cross-sectional area increased 1.8-fold at one week post-injury with high-dose treatment, and peak torque of injured muscle increased by 67% compared to control (p = 0.033), with no untoward systemic toxicity observed in plasma chemistry markers (Neelakantan et al., 2019)
In tandem with that, we are finalizing revisions to 180.50 to remove the requirement for hospitals to disclose the estimated allowed amount, and, instead, require hospitals to disclose the 10th percentile, median, and 90th percentile allowed amounts, as well as the count of allowed amounts, in MRFs when payer-specific negotiated charges are based on percentages or algorithms
