MicroRNA-222 regulates muscle alternative splicing through Rbm24 during differentiation of skeletal muscle cells [PDF]
, 2016 A number of microRNAs have been shown to regulate skeletal muscle development and differentiation. MicroRNA-222 is downregulated during myogenic differentiation and its overexpression leads to alteration of muscle differentiation process and specialized ...

Core Clinical Phenotypes in Myotonic Dystrophies
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) represent the most frequent multisystemic muscular dystrophies in adulthood. They are progressive, autosomal dominant diseases caused by an abnormal expansion of an unstable nucleotide repeat located in ...

Pharmacological inhibition of PKCθ counteracts muscle disease in a mouse model of duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
, 2017 Inflammation plays a considerable role in the progression of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a severe muscle disease caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. We previously showed that genetic ablation of Protein Kinase C θ (PKCθ) in mdx, the mouse

Fibrosis development in early-onset muscular dystrophies: Mechanisms and translational implications.
Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most devastating neuromuscular genetic diseases caused by the absence of dystrophin. The continuous episodes of muscle degeneration and regeneration in dystrophic muscle are accompanied by chronic ...

Predicting Loss of Ambulation in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R9
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type R9 (LGMDR9) results from biallelic variants in FKRP. There is limited data to predict loss of ambulation (LOA) among those with LGMDR9. Methods Participants in an ongoing dystroglycanopathy natural history study (NCT00313677) with FKRP variants who had achieved ambulation and were more than 3 ...

Temporal Bayesian classifiers for modelling muscular dystrophy expression data [PDF]
, 2006 The analysis of microarray data from time-series experiments requires specialised algorithms, which take the temporal ordering of the data into account. In this paper we explore a new architecture of Bayesian classifier that can be used to understand how
