Dual exon skipping in myostatin and dystrophin for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
20 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Myostatin is a potent muscle growth inhibitor that belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) family. Mutations leading to non functional myostatin have been associated with hypermuscularity in several organisms. By contrast, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by a loss of muscle fibers and impaired regeneration. In this study, we aim to knockdown myostatin by means of exon...
