Three-dimensional tissue engineered skeletal muscle modelling facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
18 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by sporadic misexpression of the transcription factor double homeobox 4 (DUX4) in skeletal muscles. So far, monolayer cultures and animal models have been used to study the disease mechanism of FSHD and for development of FSHD therapy, but these models do not fully recapitulate the disease and there is a lack of knowledge on how DUX4 misexpression leads to...
