Defective membrane repair in dysferlin-deficient muscular dystrophy

TL;DR: It is shown that disruption of the muscle membrane repair machinery is responsible for dysferlin-deficient muscle degeneration, and the importance of this basic cellular mechanism of membrane resealing in human disease is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysferlin and the plasma membrane repair in muscular dystrophy

TL;DR: The current knowledge of dysferlin function in the repair of the plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle cells is discussed and it is demonstrated that defective membrane repair is a novel mechanism of muscle degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysferlin-mediated membrane repair protects the heart from stress-induced left ventricular injury

TL;DR: This study establishes what it believes is a novel mechanism underlying the cardiomyopathy that results from a defective membrane repair in the absence of dysferlin, and suggests that Dysferlin-mediated membrane repair is important for maintaining membrane integrity of cardiomers, particularly under conditions of mechanical stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

The homeobox gene CDX2 is aberrantly expressed in most cases of acute myeloid leukemia and promotes leukemogenesis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aberrant expression of the developmental regulatory gene CDX2 in the adult hematopoietic compartment is a frequent event in the pathogenesis of AML and support the hypothesis that CDx2 is responsible, in part, for the altered HOX gene expression that is observed in most cases ofAML.
