Agrin-induced acetylcholine receptor clustering in mammalian muscle requires tyrosine phosphorylation. [PDF]
Agrin is thought to be the nerve-derived factor that initiates acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering at the developing neuromuscularjunction. We have investigated the signaling pathway in mouse C2 myotubes and report that agrin induces a rapid but ...

Employment of Microencapsulated Sertoli Cells as a New Tool to Treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal X-linked pathology due to lack of dystrophin and characterized by progressive muscle degeneration, impaired locomotion and premature death.

A nitric oxide synthase transgene ameliorates muscular dystrophy in mdx mice. [PDF]
Dystrophin-deficient muscles experience large reductions in expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which suggests that NO deficiency may influence the dystrophic pathology.

The spectrin family of proteins: a unique coiled-coil fold for various molecular surface properties
International audienceThe spectrin superfamily is composed of proteins involved in cytolinker functions. Their main structural feature is a large central subdomain with numerous repeats folded in triple helical coiled-coils.
