Stimulation of calcineurin signaling attenuates the dystrophic pathology in mdx mice
17 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Utrophin has been studied extensively in recent years in an effort to find a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In this context, we previously showed that mice expressing enhanced muscle calcineurin activity (CnA*) displayed elevated levels of utrophin around their sarcolemma. In the present study, we therefore crossed CnA* mice with mdx mice to determine the suitability of elevating calcineurin activity in...
