The mdx (C57BL/10 background, C57BL/10-mdx) mouse is a widely used model of DMD, but the histopathological hallmarks of DMD, such as the smaller number of myofibers, accumulation of fat and fibrosis, and insufficient regeneration of myofibers, are not observed in adult C57BL/10-mdx except for in the diaphragm. In this study,...
