Muscle damage and fibro-fatty replacement of skeletal muscles is a main pathologic feature of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) with more proximal muscles affected earlier and more distal affected later in the disease course, suggesting that different ...

Nucleic acid nanostructure for delivery of CRISPR/Cas9‐based gene editing system
Multifunctional nucleic acid nanostructures, including RCA‐derived DNA, branched DNA, and hybrid DNA, have been developed for delivery of CRISPR/Cas9‐based gene editing system for gene therapy. Abstract CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR‐associated protein 9)‐based gene editing system has aroused great ...

Quantitative immuno-mass spectrometry imaging of skeletal muscle dystrophin
Emerging and promising therapeutic interventions for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are confounded by the challenges of quantifying dystrophin. Current approaches have poor precision, require large amounts of tissue, and are difficult to standardize ...

IntroductionHuman cooperativeness is an important personality trait. However, the mechanism through which people cooperate remains unclear. Previous research suggests that one of the proposed functions of smiling is to advertise altruistic dispositions ...

Gait Event Detection and Travel Distance Using Waist-Worn Accelerometers across a Range of Speeds: Automated Approach [PDF]
Estimation of temporospatial clinical features of gait (CFs), such as step count and length, step duration, step frequency, gait speed, and distance traveled, is an important component of community-based mobility evaluation using wearable accelerometers.

Global epidemiology of Duchenne muscular dystrophy: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of global DMD epidemiology is not available.

This study indicates an association of abnormal HIF‐2α expression in paraspinal myoblasts and a disproportionate slow twitch muscle fiber content in the convexity of the curvature in a sub‐set of AIS subjects, suggesting HIF‐2α dysregulation as a possible risk factor for AIS. The role of HIF‐2α in paraspinal muscle function during spinal growth and its

This nonrandomized controlled trial analyzes safety, biological, and functional outcomes associated with the infusion of rAAVrh74.MHCK7.micro-dystrophin gene transfer in a small group of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in the DMD gene resulting in the absence of dystrophin. Casimersen is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer designed to bypass frameshift DMD mutations and produce internally truncated, yet ...

This manuscript summarizes a case of biallelic dystrophin (DMD) variants in a mildly affected female patient and additionally highlights the phenotypic spectrum of one of the patient's two DMD variants, a deletion of exons 49–51. This deletion previously had few reports in the published literature, despite its frequency within our institution's ...
