ABSTRACT Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, life‐limiting neuromuscular disorder (NMD) characterized by progressive muscle wasting and mitochondrial dysfunction. Although gene therapies offer promise, even those already approved by regulatory agencies, their use remains constrained by mutation specificity, delivery challenges and

ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle wasting and weakness are prominent disease features. Originally considered to arise from common transcriptional changes, recent analyses demonstrated that different stimuli induce muscle wasting via largely distinct mRNA and protein changes.

Rethinking Statin Dosage in Coronary Disease
It is widely acknowledged that a sufficient statin dose is important in the management of symptomatic coronary disease, along with weight reduction and appropriate antithrombotic, blood pressure, and diabetes pharmacotherapy. Mid‐range statin doses have been shown to achieve the maximum improvements in total mortality and have the advantage of greater ...

A 67‐year‐old man with cryptogenic organising pneumonia developed recurrent relapses despite corticosteroid and mycophenolate therapy. A complete absence of mannose‐binding lectin was identified, suggesting impaired apoptotic cell clearance as a contributor to persistent inflammation.

An atomic view of the NFIX–DNA complex reveals recognition of the TGGCA motif and links sequence‐specific binding to the transcriptional programs governing skeletal muscle development and disease. ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle is essential for voluntary movement and exhibits a remarkable capacity for regeneration following injury.
