Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a disease caused by the incapacity to synthesize dystrophin, which is implicated in the maintenance of the sarcolemma integrity. Myoblast transplantation is a potential treatment of this disease. However, most of the transplanted cells die very rapidly after their injection.
