Proteome Profiling of the Dystrophic mdx Mice Diaphragm
Biomolecules, 2023 Mdx mice with a spontaneous mutation in exon 23 of the Dmd gene represent the most common model to investigate the pathophysiology of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The disease, caused by the lack of functional dystrophin, is characterized by irreversible impairment of muscle functions, with the diaphragm affected earlier and more severely than ...

Investigating synthetic oligonucleotide targeting of miR31 in Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
, 2016 Exon-skipping via synthetic antisense oligonucleotides represents one of the most promising potential therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), yet this approach is highly sequence-specific and thus each oligonucleotide is of benefit to only a ...

Morphological Changes in the Myotendinous Junction of mdx Mice
Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2021 The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is the interface between muscle and tendon, and it is the main area of force transmission of the locomotor apparatus. Dystrophic processes promote pathological injury which affects the skeletal muscle and can influence the morphology of the MTJ.

Cognitive impairment appears progressive in the mdx mouse [PDF]
Neuromuscular Disorders, 2020 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene, which encodes the large cytoskeletal protein dystrophin. Approximately one-third of DMD patient's exhibit cognitive problems yet it is unknown if cognitive impairments worsen with age.
