[Development of therapies against neuromuscular diseases causing muscle atrophy].

Abstract excerpt

Skeletal muscles become atrophied by muscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy, wasting and even aging. In addition to muscle atrophy, progressive muscle damage, inflammation and replacement of muscle fibers with fibrous and fatty tissues are observed in muscular dystrophy. Neuronal innervation is required for skeletal muscle, and muscles become atrophic when motor neurons are affected by neurodegenerative...
