Abstract excerpt
Fibrosis is a characteristic of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for DMD fibrosis are poorly understood. Utilizing the Collagen1a1-GFP transgene to identify cells producing Collagen-I matrix in wild-type mice exposed to toxic injury or those mutated at the dystrophin gene locus (mdx) as a model of DMD, we studied mechanisms of skeletal muscle injury/repair...
