Abstract excerpt
The absence of dystrophin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) leads to sarcolemmal instability and enhances the susceptibility of muscle fibers to contraction-induced injury. Various viral vectors have been used to deliver mini- and microdystrophin expression cassettes to muscles of dystrophin-deficient mdx mice, significantly increasing both the morphological and the functional properties of the muscles....
