The importance of dystrophin and the dystrophin associated proteins in vascular smooth muscle
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 This review details the role of dystrophin and the dystrophin associated proteins (DAPs) in the vascular smooth muscle. Dystrophin is most comprehensively studied in the skeletal muscle due to serious symptoms found related to the skeletal muscle of ...

Dystrophins in vertebrates and invertebrates [PDF]
Human Molecular Genetics, 1998 Members of the dystrophin family of proteins perform a critical but incompletely characterized role in the maintenance of membrane-associated complexes at points of intercellular contact in many vertebrate cell types. They interact with, amongst others, the transmembrane laminin receptor dystroglycan, cytoskeletal actin and, indirectly, the ...

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

An investigation into the effects of dystrophin on the lateral mobility of muscle membrane components. [PDF]
, 1999 Dystrophin is the product of the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy gene locus, whose absence results in progressive skeletal muscle breakdown. Despite considerable work on the localisation of dystrophin and its associated complex, its role in muscle function ...

The emerging family of dystrophin-related proteins
, 1994 Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin, a component of the subsarcolemmal cytoskeleton. Dystrophin-related proteins are identical or homologous to the cysteine-rich and C-terminal domains of ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Standard cell culture supports were functionalized by laser‐structuring to generate advanced topographies tailored to skeletal muscle tissue. The physicochemical modifications of the polymeric surfaces and their interactions with cells were thoroughly investigated, confirming both safety and effectiveness in guiding muscle cell organization.

Systemic delivery of full-length dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy mice
Nature CommunicationsCurrent gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) utilizes adeno-associated virus (AAV) to deliver micro-dystrophin (µDys), which does not provide full protection for striated muscles as it lacks many important functional domains of full-length (

BMC Neuroscience, 2017 Background In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the loss of the dystrophin component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) compromises plasma membrane integrity in skeletal muscle, resulting in extensive muscle degeneration. In addition, many DMD
