Abstract excerpt
Muscular loading affects bone growth and the factors determining size and shape. However, it is not known what epigenetic impact muscular dystrophy (dystrophia muscularis) has on limb bone growth or ontogenetic scaling. To assess the effects of two types of muscular dystrophy (genotypes dy/dy and...
