A real-life Mighty Mouse: Rodent with double the normal muscle created in lab | Mail Online: "Swiss scientists created the ‘super strong marathon mice’ by tweaking a gene and found without it the rodents’ muscles bulked up and they had more energy.
If the effects could be replicated in humans, they believe it could lead to therapies against muscle-wasting in the elderly which can lead to falls and broken bones, as well as incurable diseases such as muscular dystrophy.
However, there are also ethical concerns that such therapies could be used to give athletes an unfair advantage."
