Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders that lead to muscle wasting and loss of muscle function. Identifying genetic modifiers that alleviate symptoms or enhance the severity of a primary disease helps to understand mechanisms behind disease ...

From proteins to genes: immunoanalysis in the diagnosis of muscular dystrophies
Muscular dystrophies are a large heterogeneous group of inherited diseases that cause progressive muscle weakness and permanent muscle damage. Very few muscular dystrophies show sufficient specific clinical features to allow a definite diagnosis. Because

Angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists alleviate muscle pathology in the mouse model for laminin-alpha2-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1A) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Laminin-alpha2-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy (MDC1A) is a severe muscle-wasting disease for which no curative treatment is available.

Abstract Backgound Skeletal and cardiac muscles are contractile tissues whose development and function are dependent on genetic programs that must be precisely orchestrated in time and space. In addition to transcription factors, RNA‐binding proteins tightly regulate gene expression by controlling the fate of RNA transcripts, thus specific proteins ...

Clinical and genetic aspects of progressive muscular dystrophies in children [PDF]
Introduction. In children, Progressive Muscular Dystrophies (PMD) are a wide group of genetic diseases which affect skeletal muscles by progressive weakness and degeneration, caused by genetic alterations.

ABSTRACT Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) is critical for tissue growth and development. The IGF‐1 gene contains six exons and due to alternative splicing three different isoforms might be produced: the IGF‐1Ea, Eb, and Ec prohormones (proIGF‐1s).

Adjuvant pharmacological strategies for the musculoskeletal system during long‐term space missions
Abstract Despite 2 h of daily exercise training, muscle wasting and bone loss are still present after 6‐month missions to the international space station. Some crew members lose bone much faster than others. In preparation for missions to the Moon and Mars, space agencies are therefore reviewing their countermeasure portfolios.
