Introduction. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked muscle disorder caused by the dystrophin absence. This leads to the death of muscle cells and cardiomyocytes and their subsequent replacement with adipose and fibrous tissue.

In this retrospective cohort study, we characterize the health profile of preterm males with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Major clinical milestones (ambulation cessation, assisted ventilation use, and onset of left ventricular dysfunction) and ...

Introduction The goals of this paper are to present the complexity of Duchenne muscular dystrophy phenotype, genetic background, and substantial progress that has been made due to the development of genetic engineering techniques in diagnosing and ...

ABSTRACT With increased survival due to enzyme replacement therapy, children with classic infantile Pompe disease tend to develop a clinical phenotype with pronounced distal muscle weakness, while late‐onset patients typically exhibit proximal muscle weakness.

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims In dystrophic mice (mdx, a genetic homolog of Duchenne muscular dystrophy: DMD), previous studies showed that mechanical ventilation (MV) induces ventilator‐induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). However, susceptibility to mechanical stress caused by asynchrony remains unknown.

Abstract Dystrophinopathies are caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene, resulting in partial (Becker) or complete loss (Duchenne) of dystrophin. Becker (BMD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are characterized by progressive muscle wasting, fatty replacement, fibrosis, and loss of function.

Sperm Sexing in Selected Animals and Humans: Methods, Applications, and Future Prospects
ABSTRACT Background Sperm sexing is a technique that enables the selection of offspring sex by sorting spermatozoa based on their sex chromosomes. This technology has gained increasing attention due to its potential applications in both animal breeding and human‐assisted reproduction.

Abstract Background and Purpose The absence of the protein dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) leads to progressive muscle weakness, failing regeneration and deregulation of nitric oxide (NO) signalling. We focused on L‐citrulline, a precursor of L‐arginine, required for NO production in muscle, which is reduced in dystrophic mdx muscle ...
