Lancet Commission: Stem cells and regenerative medicine

TL;DR: It is argued that a combination of poor quality science, unclear funding models, unrealistic hopes, and unscrupulous private clinics threatens regenerative medicine's social licence to operate and a solution is recommended that lies in a coordinated strategy with four pillars.

CRISPR-Cpf1 correction of muscular dystrophy mutations in human cardiomyocytes and mice

TL;DR: These findings are the first to show the efficiency of Cpf1-mediated correction of genetic mutations in human cells and an animal disease model and represent a significant step toward therapeutic translation of gene editing for correction of DMD.

Pip6-PMO, A New Generation of Peptide-oligonucleotide Conjugates With Improved Cardiac Exon Skipping Activity for DMD Treatment

TL;DR: It is indicated that the hydrophobic core of the Pip sequences is critical for PMO delivery to the heart and that specific modifications to this region can enhance activity further, and have implications for therapeutic PMO development for DMD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: From Diagnosis to Therapy

TL;DR: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked inherited neuromuscular disorder due to mutations in the dystrophin gene, which has opened novel avenues in molecular biology, medical genetics and novel therapeutic options.

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.

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.
