Quantitative immuno-mass spectrometry imaging of skeletal muscle dystrophin

Scientific Reports, 2021
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 ...

Transcriptomic analysis of paired healthy human skeletal muscles to identify modulators of disease severity in DMD

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
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 ...

Unravelling the relation between altruistic cooperativeness trait, smiles, and cooperation: a mediation analysis

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
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 ...

Basal Energetics and Phosphocreatine Recovery Kinetics in Ambulatory Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. [PDF]

NMR Biomed
Basal energetics and phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery kinetics of the lower leg anterior compartment (primarily tibialis anterior; TA) were evaluated at rest and after dorsiflexion muscle contractions in ambulatory boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and unaffected controls using 31P‐MRS.

Measuring carer quality of life in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a systematic review of the reliability and validity of self-report instruments using COSMIN

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2022
Introduction Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a rare, progressive, life-limiting genetic neuromuscular condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of informal caregivers. Carer quality of life is measured using heterogeneous self-report scales,

Repurposing Dantrolene for Long-Term Combination Therapy to Potentiate Antisense-Mediated DMD Exon Skipping in the mdx Mouse

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in DMD, resulting in loss of dystrophin, which is essential to muscle health. DMD “exon skipping” uses anti-sense oligo-nucleotides (AONs) to force specific exon exclusion during mRNA processing to
