miR-146a deficiency does not aggravate muscular dystrophy in mdx mice
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease evoked by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. It is associated with progressive muscle degeneration and increased inflammation.

Background The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is a critical adhesion complex of the muscle cell membrane, providing a mechanical link between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the cortical cytoskeleton that stabilizes the sarcolemma during ...

CRISPR‐Cas systems offer transformative genome editing capabilities for precise manipulation of cellular genes. This enables two main therapeutic avenues: ex vivo modification of patient cells for re‐transplantation or direct in vivo gene targeting via advanced delivery methods.

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

¹³C NMR metabolomics: applications at natural abundance. [PDF]
(13)C NMR has many advantages for a metabolomics study, including a large spectral dispersion, narrow singlets at natural abundance, and a direct measure of the backbone structures of metabolites.

Loss of function mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin elicits a hypersensitive fear response in mice and humans. In the dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse, this behaviour is partially protected by oestrogen, but the mechanistic basis for this protection

Combating muscle atrophy: emerging therapeutic targets that are fiber‐type‐specific
Inflammation, denervation or decreased insulin signaling activate proteolysis and cause muscle wasting. Pathological conditions like obesity and DMD can also exacerbate atrophy via PGD2–RhoA–ROCK2 signaling. In contrast, exercise, dietary interventions, and pharmacological agents can activate Ca2+/calcineurin–NFAT and AMPK–PGC‐1α–MEF pathways ...

Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli adhesion is enhanced by exposure to the ubiquitous dietary polysaccharide maltodextrin. [PDF]
Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with intestinal dysbiosis evidenced by an altered microbiome forming thick biofilms on the epithelium. Additionally, adherent-invasive E.

T-Cell-Dependent Fibrosis in the mdx Dystrophic Mouse [PDF]
In Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients, the pathological hallmark of the disease, namely, the chronic accumulation of sclerotic scar tissue in the interstitial space of skeletal muscle is attributed to manifestation of secondary pathological processes.
