Emerging Gene Correction Strategies for Muscular Dystrophies: Scientific Progress and Regulatory Impact

TL;DR: This chapter will cover new gene correction strategies for muscular dystrophies and their regulatory challenges before they can become routine treatment modalities in the clinic.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: recent perspectives on pathophysiology

TL;DR: Because no etiologic therapy is available for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a better understanding of the primary and downstream mechanisms could prove useful for producing new adjuvant treatments.

Satellite cell-specific deletion of Cipc alleviates myopathy in mdx mice.

TL;DR: In this paper , the CLOCK-interacting protein Circadian (CIPC) is upregulated during myoblast differentiation, and specific deletion of Cipc in satellite cells alleviates myopathy, improves muscle function, and reduces fibrosis in mdx mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Targeting in Inherited Neuromuscular Disorders: Novel Therapeutic Strategies to Counteract Mis-Splicing.

TL;DR: In this article, the role played by alternative splicing in ensuring functional neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and its involvement in the pathogenesis of NMJ-related NMD-related disorders, with particular emphasis on congenital myasthenic syndromes and muscular dystrophies.
Dissertation

Investigating genotype-phenotype correlations and potential therapies for laminopathies

TL;DR: This book presents a meta-analyses of the determinants of infectious disease in eight operation theatres and shows clear trends in the number of cases where use of antibiotics and other treatments are prescribed.

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.
