Dystrophin Dp71ab is monoclonally expressed in human satellite cells and enhances proliferation of myoblast cells

Abstract excerpt

Dystrophin Dp71 is the smallest isoform of the DMD gene, mutations in which cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Dp71 has also been shown to have roles in various cellular processes. Stem cell-based therapy may be effective in treating DMD, but the inability to generate a sufficient number of stem cells remains a significant obstacle. Although Dp71 is comprised of many variants, Dp71 in satellite cells has...
