The assembly and evaluation of antisense oligonucleotides applied in exon skipping for titin-based mutations in dilated cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Results indicate this method offers the first systematic protocol in designing and evaluating AONs specifically for mutated TTN target exons, expanding the framework of future advancements in the therapeutic potential of antisense-mediated exon skipping in titin-based DCM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serotonin and Histamine Therapy Increases Tetanic Forces of Myoblasts, Reduces Muscle Injury, and Improves Grip Strength Performance of Dmdmdx Mice

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that S&H therapy might be a promising new strategy for muscular dystrophies and that the mechanism should be further investigated.

Gene therapy in monogenic congenital myopathies.

TL;DR: Prospective applications and approaches to gene replacement therapy, using monogenetic congenital myopathy and X-linked myotubular myopathy as examples, are discussed in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response to “Railroading at the FDA”

TL;DR: The author was put under scrutiny for having endorsed the view that “the extremely small increase in dystrophin might conceivably translate to clinical benefit” in type 1 errors (failing to approve a safe drug that is ultimately found to be effective) and type 2 errors

Dystrophin: The protein product of the duchenne muscular dystrophy locus

TL;DR: The identification of the mdx mouse as an animal model for DMD has important implications with regard to the etiology of the lethal DMD phenotype, and the protein dystrophin is named because of its identification via the isolation of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy locus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local Dystrophin Restoration with Antisense Oligonucleotide PRO051

TL;DR: Intramuscular injection of antisense oligonucleotide PRO051 induced dystrophin synthesis in four patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy who had suitable mutations, suggesting that further studies might be feasible.
