TNF-α-Induced microRNAs Control Dystrophin Expression in Becker Muscular Dystrophy
Cell Reports, 2015 The amount and distribution of dystrophin protein in myofibers and muscle is highly variable in Becker muscular dystrophy and in exon-skipping trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Here, we investigate a molecular basis for this variability.
