Scientists have developed a novel approach of genome editing to repair muscle stem (satellite) cells, offering new hope for ...

A new study led by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) suggests that currently available therapies may help control chronic muscle inflammation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a ...

Muscular Dystrophies are a group of genetic conditions characterized by muscle weaknesses. They are genetic conditions and have different sub-categories depending on which area of muscle mass is ...

Since skeletal-muscle cells are rich in transaminase ‡ and muscle comprises by weight the largest single tissue mass in the body, it seems logical to investigate the enzyme activity in the various ...

Grants include research funding in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), Duchenne muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), mitochondrial ...

Progression of Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy (DMD) can be delayed in mice by supplementing their diets with Urolithin A, according to new results reported today. The findings, published in Science ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota have succeeded in almost completely regenerating skeletal muscle in a mouse model of muscular dystrophy, using genetically unmodified mouse pluripotent stem ...

Tracing the impact of a single protein, Piezo1, researchers found that restoring it in muscles affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy could improve their ability to heal efficiently. One protein, ...

Burn Boot Camp and Muscular Dystrophy Association's 8th Annual 'Be Their Muscle' Partnership Muscular Dystrophy Association family members and Burn Boot Camp leadership join together at Burn Boot Camp ...

The powerful gene editing technology CRISPR is one small step closer to treating a human disease. In a new paper published in Science, researchers led by Eric Olson, professor and chair of molecular ...
