Abstract excerpt
In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and its murine model, the dystrophic mouse (MDX), the skeletal musculature lacks dystrophin. The presumed function of this cytoskeletal protein is to protect the sarcolemma against mechanical stress during muscle activity. To test this hypothesis in vivo, we bred a double mutant mouse that combines two genetic defects: the dystrophin-deficiency of the MDX mouse and the Cl-...
