Pharmacotherapeutic Approaches to Treatment of Muscular Dystrophies [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of genetic muscle-wasting disorders that are subdivided based on the region of the body impacted by muscle weakness as well as the functional activity of the underlying genetic mutations. A common feature of

fhl2b mediates extraocular muscle protection in zebrafish models of muscular dystrophies and its ectopic expression ameliorates affected body muscles [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIn muscular dystrophies, muscle fibers loose integrity and die, causing significant suffering and premature death. Strikingly, the extraocular muscles (EOMs) are spared, functioning well despite the disease progression.

Transcriptomic gene signatures measure satellite cell activity in muscular dystrophies [PDF]
iScienceSummary: The routine need for myonuclear turnover in skeletal muscle, together with more sporadic demands for hypertrophy and repair, are performed by resident muscle stem cells called satellite cells.

Genetics and muscle pathology in the diagnosis of muscular dystrophies: An update
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2022 Muscular dystrophies are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders involving the skeletal muscles. They have a progressive clinical course and are characterized by muscle fiber degeneration.

Current Biology, 2000 Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetically determined muscular disorders marked by progressive wasting and weakness of the skeletal muscle, but which often affect cardiac and smooth muscles or other tissues. The patterns of inheritance are either dominant or recessive although the gene may be defective because of a new mutation.

Diagnosis of Cardiac Abnormalities in Muscular Dystrophies
Medicina, 2021 Muscular disorders are mainly characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. There are several aspects that can be monitored, which are used to differentiate between the types of muscular disorders, ranging from the targeted muscle up to the ...

Clinical and genetic characteristics of congenital muscular dystrophies (part 2)
Нервно-мышечные болезни, 2020 Dystroglycanopathy is one of the groups of congenital muscular dystrophies, the occurrence of which is associated with a disorder of α-dystroglycan glycosylation. To date, 18 genes responsible for the development of this condition are known. The 2nd part
