Autophagic dysfunction and autophagosome escape in the mdx <i>mus musculus</i> model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
19 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
AIM: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by the absence of functional dystrophin protein and results in a host of secondary effects. Emerging evidence suggests that dystrophic pathology includes decreased pro-autophagic signalling and suppressed autophagic flux in skeletal muscle, but the relationship between autophagy and disease progression is unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the...
