Determination of qPCR Reference Genes Suitable for Normalizing Gene Expression in a Canine Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yes
Background:Dogs with dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy are valuable models of the equivalent human disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): unlike the mdx mouse, these animals present a disease severity and progression that closely matches that ...

Involvement in daily life activities from the perspectives of children and young people with childhood‐onset disabilities: A scoping review

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This scoping review aimed to understand the construct ‘involvement’ in daily life activities from the perspective of children and young people with childhood‐onset disabilities. We identified six conceptual ideas, including a continuum of inner dedication or investment in‐the‐moment, and five others reflecting how children and young people process ...

Correlation of Utrophin Levels with the Dystrophin Protein Complex and Muscle Fibre Regeneration in Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy Muscle Biopsies.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe and currently incurable progressive neuromuscular condition, caused by mutations in the DMD gene that result in the inability to produce dystrophin. Lack of dystrophin leads to loss of muscle fibres and a reduction

Nanospan, an alternatively spliced isoform of sarcospan, localizes to the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle and is absent in limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2F

open access: yesSkeletal Muscle, 2017
Background Sarcospan (SSPN) is a transmembrane protein that interacts with the sarcoglycans (SGs) to form a tight subcomplex within the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex that spans the sarcolemma and interacts with laminin in the extracellular matrix ...

Bone health in adults with non‐ambulatory neuromuscular disorders: scoping review of risk factors, diagnosis and management

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory adults have an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures due to reduced weight‐bearing and diminished neuromuscular stimulation, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. Aims This scoping review aimed to systematically evaluate risk factors, diagnostic indicators and management strategies for optimising ...

‘I Do Feel Some Level of Solidarity… in an Individual Way’: Disability Solidarity, Disability Identity and the Role of Social Services

open access: yesSocial Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on social policy and solidarity often highlights disability as a paradigmatic case of a ‘deserving’ group that warrants social support. However, this hierarchical view of solidarity frequently ignores the role of solidarity in the lived experiences and everyday practices of disabled people themselves.

A nitric oxide synthase transgene ameliorates muscular dystrophy in mdx mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Dystrophin-deficient muscles experience large reductions in expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which suggests that NO deficiency may influence the dystrophic pathology.

Senolytics and exercise: Dual modalities for rejuvenating muscle

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The role of senolytics on the heart and skeletal muscle. Senescent cell burden increases with ageing, disuse and disease. The senolytics dasatinib+quercetin (D+Q), navitoclax and fisetin, as well as exercise, eliminate senescent cells, reducing senescent cell burden and their senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP ...
