Long-term administration of antisense oligonucleotides into the paraspinal muscles of mdx mice reduces kyphosis

, 2008
The mdx mouse model of muscular dystrophy has a premature stop codon preventing production of dystrophin. This results in a progressive phenotype causing centronucleation of skeletal muscle fibers, muscle weakness and fibrosis and kyphosis.
