With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...

Prime editing in neuropsychiatric disorders: From mutation‐specific target selection to clinical translation

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Prime editing, a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)‐based technology, fuses a reverse transcriptase (RT) to an engineered CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) and uses a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA)‐encoded template.

Progressive Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy, preclinical stage, deletion of exons 45-55 of the DMD gene in the hemizygous state: a clinical case from practice

Лечащий Врач
Background. Duchenne/Becker progressive muscular dystrophy is an X-linked recessive disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene encoding the dystrophin protein.

Structural Variation Sequencing of 26 Amniotic Fluid Samples With Partial Gene Duplications and Postnatal Follow‐Up of the Fetuses

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Partial gene duplications (PGDups) are a significant contributor to genetic disease. The precise genomic location and structure of PGDups are often unresolved using conventional methods, so prenatal diagnosis for PGDups is challenging, especially without ultrasound abnormalities.

Proteomic Profiling of Myofiber Repair Annexins and Their Role in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myofiber regeneration and membrane repair play crucial roles in maintaining the continuous physiological functioning of the neuromuscular system. A swift and efficient repair mechanism enables the rapid restoration of sarcolemmal integrity following cellular impairment in damaged skeletal muscles.

Non-operative treatment for perforated gastro-duodenal peptic ulcer in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: a case report

BMC Surgery, 2004
Background Clinical characteristics and complications of Duchenne muscular dystrophy caused by skeletal and cardiac muscle degeneration are well known. Gastro-intestinal involvement has also been recognised in these patients.

Update on Non‐Biological and RNA‐Based Therapeutics in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Precision Medicine Through Small Molecules: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal ...

Targeting RyR Activity Boosts Antisense Exon 44 and 45 Skipping in Human DMD Skeletal or Cardiac Muscle Culture Models

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2019
Systemic delivery of antisense oligonucleotides (AO) for DMD exon skipping has proven effective for reframing DMD mRNA, rescuing dystrophin expression, and slowing disease progression in animal models.
