Nanogel Integrated Zwitterionic Injectable Hydrogel with Sequential Drug‐Releasing Capability for the Programmable Repair of Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel drug‐loaded D/P‐g‐PSB nanogel‐incorporated hydrogel by the electrostatic attraction‐driven self‐assembling process. Sequential drug releasing property (melatonin is released first by physical diffusion, and then ibuprofen is released as the charge shielding effect and hydrogel degradation). This ion‐sensitive hydrogel platform with sequentially

The Evolutionarily Conserved TPM1 Super‐Enhancer Drives Skeletal Muscle Regeneration via Mechanotransduction Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating biomechanical and epigenetic cues, the evolutionarily conserved TPM1 super‐enhancer drives myogenesis via TEAD4‐mediated chromatin looping. This mechanism produces species‐specific outputs (linear TPM1 mRNA in mice and CircTPM1 in bovine) that activate PI3K/AKT mechanotransduction and the MYH10/MYL3 axis to execute cytoskeletal ...

Co‐Opting MBNL‐Dependent Alternative Splicing Cassette Exons to Control Gene Therapy in Myotonic Dystrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a highly variable, multisystemic genetic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of DMPK. Toxicity is exerted by repeat‐containing DMPK transcripts that sequester muscleblind‐like (MBNL) proteins and lead to deleterious yet predictable changes in alternative splicing.

A Novel Transcriptional Slippage Mechanism Rescues Dystrophin Expression from a DMD Frameshift Variant

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Pathogenic DMD variants usually follow the reading‐frame rule: out‐of‐frame changes cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy, whereas in‐frame ones produce Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). We report a 23‐year‐old man with BMD‐like weakness, calf hypertrophy, elevated creatine kinase, and dilated cardiomyopathy.

A Roadmap to Newborn Screening for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

International Journal of Neonatal Screening, 2017
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common childhood form of muscular dystrophy, with an estimated frequency of 1:5000 live births. The impact of the disease presents as early as infancy with significant developmental delays, and ultimately ...

Improving translational studies: lessons from rare neuromuscular diseases [PDF]

, 2015
Animal models play a key role in the development of novel treatments for human disease. This is particularly true for rare diseases – defined as disorders that affect less than 1 in 2000 people in the human population – for which, very often, there are ...

Nerve damage induced skeletal muscle atrophy is associated with increased accumulation of intramuscular glucose and polyol pathway intermediates [PDF]

, 2020
Perturbations in skeletal muscle metabolism have been reported for a variety of neuromuscular diseases. However, the role of metabolism after constriction injury to a nerve and the associated muscle atrophy is unclear.

Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization on metaphase chromosomes and interphase Halo-preparations using cosmid and YAC clones for the simultaneous high resolution mapping of deletions in the dystrophin gene [PDF]

, 1994
We report on multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization protocols for the simultaneous visualization of deletion-prone regions for carrier detection of Duchenne/ Becker (DMD/BMD) muscular dystrophy.
