Muscle Weakness in Myositis: MicroRNA‐Mediated Dystrophin Reduction in a Myositis Mouse Model and Human Muscle Biopsies
3 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Muscle inflammation is a feature in myositis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Autoimmune mechanisms are thought to contribute to muscle weakness in patients with myositis. However, a lack of correlation between the extent of inflammatory cell infiltration and muscle weakness indicates that nonimmune pathologic mechanisms may play a role. The present study focused on 2 microRNA (miRNA) sets...
