N-acetyl-L-cysteine prevents stress-induced desmin aggregation in cellular models of desminopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations within the human desmin gene are responsible for a subcategory of myofibrillar myopathies called desminopathies. However, a single inherited mutation can produce different phenotypes within a family, suggesting that environmental factors influence disease states. Although several mouse models have been used to investigate organ-specific desminopathies, a more general mechanistic perspective is required...
