Phenotypic Switching of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

2023-06-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Extensive studies have been conducted in skeletal muscle and myocardium affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) disease but there is a significant gap of research in the role of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in DMD. Here, we investigated the role of dystrophin deficiency in the maintenance of VSMCs contractile phenotype. <h4>Methods</h4> 12-14 months old mdx mice and DMD induced...
