Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess muscle fibre size, fibre damage, regeneration, and fibrosis in intrinsic longitudinal tongue muscles in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was conducted using mdx5Cv dystrophic and wild-type (WT) mice at 3, 6, and 12 months of age (5-7 animals per genotype per time point). Tongue and masseter samples were cryosectioned (10 µm) and stained for...
