With Regard to the Expression Status of Sarcolemmal Aquaporin 4 in Human Muscular Dystrophies
Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human muscular dystrophies are inherited muscle‐wasting diseases caused by the various kinds of gene mutations. Among them, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a representative type. Before the discovery of the causative dystrophin gene of DMD, the fragile myofiber plasma membrane was thought to be the trigger of myofiber necrosis in DMD ...
