Targeting a therapeutic LIF transgene to muscle via the immune system ameliorates muscular dystrophy. [PDF]

, 2019
Many potentially therapeutic molecules have been identified for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, targeting those molecules only to sites of active pathology is an obstacle to their clinical use.

Lack of Dystrophin Affects Bronchial Epithelium in mdx Mice [PDF]

, 2016
Mild exercise training may positively affect the course of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Training causes mild bronchial epithelial injury in both humans and mice, but no study assessed the effects of exercise in mdx mice, a well known model of DMD ...

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

Transgenic overexpression of γ-cytoplasmic actin protects against eccentric contraction-induced force loss in mdx mice

Skeletal Muscle, 2011
Background γ-cytoplasmic (γ-cyto) actin levels are elevated in dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to determine whether further elevation of γ-cyto actin levels improve or exacerbate the dystrophic phenotype of ...

Altered muscle niche contributes to myogenic deficit in the D2-mdx model of severe DMD

Cell Death Discovery, 2023
Lack of dystrophin expression is the underlying genetic basis for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). However, disease severity varies between patients, based on specific genetic modifiers. D2-mdx is a model for severe DMD that exhibits exacerbated muscle

Nifedipine treatment reduces resting calcium concentration, oxidative and apoptotic gene expression, and improves muscle function in dystrophic mdx mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive X-linked genetic disease, caused by mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin. DMD is characterized in humans and in mdx mice by a severe and progressive destruction of muscle fibers, inflammation ...

Prmt5 is a regulator of muscle stem cell expansion in adult mice. [PDF]

, 2015
Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSC), also called satellite cells, are indispensable for maintenance and regeneration of adult skeletal muscles. Yet, a comprehensive picture of the regulatory events controlling the fate of MuSC is missing.
