Muscular dystrophy: The worm turns to genetic disease [PDF]
Current Biology, 2000 A new animal model for studying muscular dystrophy, a mutant form of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, brings the power of worm genetics to bear on the search for a cure for this disease; work on this worm has already led to the identification of a novel component that can suppress the mutant phenotype.

Muscular changes in Engelmann's disease. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1980 In a case of Engelmann's disease in an 11-year-old Japanese boy the muscular changes were studied in detail. Muscle weakness was maximal about the pelvic girdle. Muscle biopsy showed the selective atrophy of type II fibres, and no degenerative change could be seen histologically, histochemically, or electron-microscopically.

Muscular Dystrophy: Disease Mechanisms and Therapies [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2015 Progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles caused by genetic alterations fall into the category of muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy occurs worldwide and affects all races. The overall incidence of muscular dystrophy varies among forms, as some forms are more common than others. Muscle loss and weakness are not necessarily caused by
