Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe and progressive form of muscular dystrophy caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. We previously observed that loss of dystrophin in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac fibroblasts (hiPSC-cFib) dysregulated the actin network and induced a metabolic remodeling associated with an exacerbated myofibroblast phenotype. The endocannabinoid signaling...
