Abstract excerpt
Therapeutic strategies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) will likely require complementary approaches. One possibility is to explore genetic modifiers that improve muscle regeneration and function. The beneficial effects of the overexpression of Jagged-1 were described in escaper golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) dogs that had a near-normal life and validated in dystrophin-deficient zebrafish. To...
