Cardiomyocyte Regeneration in the mdx Mouse Model of Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Stem Cells and Development, 2015
Endogenous regeneration has been demonstrated in the mammalian heart after ischemic injury. However, approximately one-third of cases of heart failure are secondary to nonischemic heart disease and cardiac regeneration in these cases remains relatively unexplored.

Antagonism of the Thromboxane‐Prostanoid Receptor as a Potential Therapy for Cardiomyopathy of Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Muscular dystrophy (MD) causes a progressive cardiomyopathy characterized by diffuse fibrosis, arrhythmia, heart failure, and early death. Activation of the thromboxane‐prostanoid receptor (TPr) increases calcium transients in cardiomyocytes ...

Utrophin haploinsufficiency does not worsen the functional performance, resistance to eccentric contractions and force production of dystrophic mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The lack of dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) compromises the integrity and function of muscle fibers. Skeletal muscles, except the diaphragm, do not undergo progressive degeneration in adult mdx mice due to compensatory mechanisms ...

Clinical application of additive manufacturing in maxillofacial prosthetics: A scoping review

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Digital workflows provide significant advances in prosthodontics, especially in terms of accuracy, reduced treatment duration, and quality of life. Moreover, additive manufacturing (AM) is particularly adapted for the fabrication of personalized complex prototypes required for the prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillofacial defects ...

Circadian Genes as Exploratory Biomarkers in DMD: Results From Both the mdx Mouse Model and Patients

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare genetic disease due to dystrophin gene mutations which cause progressive weakness and muscle wasting. Circadian rhythm coordinates biological processes with the 24-h cycle and it plays a key role in maintaining

The mitochondrial‐targeted antioxidant SkQ1 prevents skeletal muscle mitochondrial‐apoptotic but not necroptotic signalling during ovarian cancer

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend An evaluation of the degree to which mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide emission (mH2O2)‐mediated apoptotic and necroptotic signalling contributes to skeletal muscle atrophy in an orthotopic epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) model. To determine whether attenuating mH2O2 could prevent regulated cell death signalling and mitigate muscle

Utrophin Compensates dystrophin Loss during Mouse Spermatogenesis

Scientific Reports, 2017
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the dystrophin gene. The mdx/utrn −/− mouse, lacking in both dystrophin and its autosomal homologue utrophin, is commonly used to model the clinical symptoms of
