Scientists have discovered a new form of dystrophin, a protein critical to normal muscle function, and identified the genetic mechanism responsible for its production. Studies of the new protein ...
UT Southwestern scientists successfully employed a new type of gene therapy to treat mice with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), uniquely utilizing CRISPR-Cas9-based tools to restore a large section ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited X-linked degenerative muscular disorder predominantly caused by frame-disrupting mutations arising from gross rearrangements in the dystrophin gene. 1 ...
Dyne Therapeutics leverages its FORCE platform to target genetically driven muscle diseases. Read why I am bullish about DYN ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the dystrophin encoding DMD gene that disrupt the reading frame. Muscle fibers lacking dystrophin are more sensitive to damage and over time ...
An experimental gene therapy appeared to dramatically increase the production of a muscle-making protein in three young boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a deadly and irreversible disease, ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the most lethal musculoskeletal disease, is caused by mutations in the X-linked gene dystrophin. Patients with DMD show delayed motor milestone development at 2-6 ...
In human biology, the protein dystrophin is a shining example of Joni Mitchell’s classic line, “you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.” Dystrophin stabilizes muscle cells. In its absence, the ...
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscle degeneration disorder caused by mutations affecting the dystrophin gene. Researchers show how a dual CRISPR RNA method restored dystrophin protein ...
Scientists have discovered a new form of dystrophin, a protein critical to normal muscle function, and identified the genetic mechanism responsible for its production. Studies of the new protein ...
