Cytokines and chemokines as regulators of skeletal muscle inflammation: presenting the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe inherited muscle disease that affects 1 in 3500 boys worldwide. Infiltration of skeletal muscle by inflammatory cells is an important facet of disease pathophysiology and is strongly associated with disease ...

Corneal dystrophies [PDF]

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2009
The term corneal dystrophy embraces a heterogenous group of bilateral genetically determined non-inflammatory corneal diseases that are restricted to the cornea. The designation is imprecise but remains in vogue because of its clinical value. Clinically, the corneal dystrophies can be divided into three groups based on the sole or predominant ...

Unusual teratological cases in Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea): two specimens with multiple malformations

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Entomología, 2022
We described two similar teratological cases with multiple malformations and loss of symmetry observed in specimens of Amithao decemguttatus (Waterhouse, 1876) (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) and Megaceras jason (Fabricius, 1775) (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae ...

Degeneration of Neuromuscular Junction in Age and Dystrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
Functional denervation is a hallmark of aging sarcopenia as well as of muscular dystrophy. It is thought to be a major factor reducing skeletal muscle mass, particularly in the case of sarcopenia.

Complex patterns of male germline instability and somatic mosaicism in myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The genetic basis of myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the expansion of a CTG repeat in the 3' untranslated region of DM1PK . Once into the disease range, the repeat becomes highly unstable and is biased toward expansion in both somatic and germline ...

Potential Therapies Using Myogenic Stem Cells Combined with Bio-Engineering Approaches for Treatment of Muscular Dystrophies

open access: yesCells, 2019
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are a group of heterogeneous genetic disorders caused by mutations in the genes encoding the structural components of myofibres. The current state-of-the-art treatment is oligonucleotide-based gene therapy that restores disease-
