We analysed archival muscle biopsies of steroid‐naïve patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), proposing a novel, simple metric: myofibre density (MFD). MFD sharply declines until age 6, identifying a critical threshold around this age. MFD provides a sensitive, reproducible biomarker for early disease progression, highlighting a potential ...

DM1 myoblasts show mild defects, but RNA toxicity intensifies upon differentiation, where broad gene‐expression changes and escalating MBNL1‐driven splicing defects disrupt muscle‐specific pathways, underscoring a key vulnerability at the transition from myogenic precursor cells to myofibres in patients. ABSTRACT Aims Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is

A Novel Dysferlin‐Binding Kinase CK2α Promotes Plasma Membrane Repair in Dysferlinopathy
When the cell membrane is injured, extracellular calcium enters the cell, triggering the accumulation of dysferlin at the lesion site. In the presence of dysferlin, CK2 is efficiently recruited to the damaged membrane and maintains its kinase activity through interaction with dysferlin.

Targeting Expanded CUG and CTG Repeats as a Therapeutic Approach for Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)
DM1 is an RNA gain‐of‐function disease caused by CTG repeat expansion, producing toxic r(CUG)exp RNA that sequesters MBNL1 and impairs splicing. This review covers the field of CUG and CTG ligands identified or rationally designed as DM1 drug candidates, highlighting their molecular design, RNA‐ or DNA‐binding modes, in vitro affinities and ...
