The NorthStar Ambulatory Assessment in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: considerations for the design of clinical trials

TL;DR: The aims of this study were to assess the effects produced on motor function by different DMD genotypes and early initiation of glucocorticoid and provide a novel insight on the current natural history of DMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tadalafil Alleviates Muscle Ischemia in Patients with Becker Muscular Dystrophy

TL;DR: An essential role for sarcolemmal nNOS in modulating sympathetic vasoconstriction in exercising human skeletal muscles is supported and PDE5 inhibition as a putative therapeutic strategy for treating BMD is implicate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current and emerging treatment strategies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

TL;DR: Correcting the underlying mutations using new gene-editing technologies and corticosteroid analogs with better safety profiles offers renewed hope for many individuals with DMD and their families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking of oligonucleotides: implications for oligonucleotide pharmacology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide background information on the basic processes of endocytosis and trafficking and then review recent literature on targeted delivery and subcellular trafficking of oligonucleotides in that context.

The Role of Non-pore-Forming β Subunits in Physiology and Pathophysiology of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels

TL;DR: Evidence that sodium channel β subunits not only regulate sodium channel function and localization but also modulate voltage-gated potassium channels is discussed.

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.
