Generation of iMyoblasts from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Bio-Protocol, 2022 Skeletal muscle stem cells differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) serve as a uniquely promising model system for investigating human myogenesis and disease pathogenesis, and for the development of gene editing and regenerative ...

Gigantic Stomach: A Rare Manifestation of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
, 2019 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by degeneration and atrophy of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles after a latent period of apparently normal development and function. The gastrointestinal manifestations start in the second decade of

The muscular dystrophies [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1992 In 1879 William Gowers, the eminent British neurologist, painted a remarkably lucid word picture of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in his series of lectures on pseudohypertrophic muscular paralysis, published in the Lancet.' This disease, he said, is one of the most interesting, and at the same time most sad, of all those with which we have to deal ...

Cracking the Code: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation Models in Sarcoglycanopathies
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Sarcoglycanopathies are among the most severe limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), though milder presentations have been described. These diseases are primarily caused by missense variants, but the limited predictability of their effect on protein maturation, complex formation, and transport has hindered reliable genotype ...

iMyoblasts for ex vivo and in vivo investigations of human myogenesis and disease modeling
eLife, 2022 Skeletal muscle myoblasts (iMyoblasts) were generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using an efficient and reliable transgene-free induction and stem cell selection protocol.

Safety and Tolerability of Givinostat: Evidence From Real‐World and Clinical Practice
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The aim of our study was to establish the prevalence of adverse events in a real‐world setting in boys living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treated with givinostat as part of an Expanded Access Program (EAP) in Italy. Methods The cohort included 90 ambulant boys, with age when treatment started between 6 and 23 years (mean ...
