Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study is to expand the applications of MyoD-forced myogenesis for research and diagnosis of human muscle disorders using a lentiviral vector (LVhMyoD) for efficient trans-differentiation of patient primary cells. LVhMyoD transduced cells readily formed striated, multinucleate myotubes expressing a wide range of genes associated with muscular dystrophy (dystrophin, dysferlin, sarcoglycans,...
