Large MAF Transcription Factors Reawaken Evolutionarily Dormant Fast-Glycolytic Type IIb Myofibers in Human Skeletal Muscle

Shunya Sadaki, Ryosuke Tsuji, Takuto Hayashi…·Ryo Fujita

This study identifies large MAF transcription factors as inducers of type IIb myofibers in humans, enhancing glycolytic capacity and correlating with power training.
