Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) cardiomyopathy is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene and characterized by profound cytoskeletal disorganization, particularly pathological remodeling of the cardiomyocyte microtubule network. While the role of dystrophin in maintaining sarcolemmal integrity is well-established, its specific association with microtubule dynamics through post-translational modifications...
