Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe form of muscular dystrophy (MD) that is characterized by early muscle wasting and lethal cardiorespiratory failure. While the mdx mouse is the most common model of DMD, it fails to replicate the severe loss of muscle mass and other complications observed in patients, in part due to the multiple rescue pathways found in mice. This led to several attempts at improving...
