Amelioration of muscular dystrophy by transgenic expression of Niemann-Pick C1.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Jan 2009

Steen Michelle S, Adams Marvin E, Tesch Yan, Froehner Stanley C

Abstract excerpt

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and other types of muscular dystrophies are caused by the loss or alteration of different members of the dystrophin protein complex. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which dystrophin-associated protein abnormalities contribute to the onset of muscular dystrophy may identify new therapeutic approaches to these human disorders. By examining gene expression alterations in...
