A new mouse model mimicking the liver symptoms of myotonic dystrophy type 1 -- the most prevalent form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy -- provides insight into why patients develop fatty liver ...

The muscular dystrophies are commonly associated with cardiovascular complications, including cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias. These complications are caused by intrinsic defects in ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic condition that causes increasing muscle weakness over time. While DMD currently has no cure, researchers are studying potential new treatments. When ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...

Pathologic changes of the X-chromosome gene for dystrophin give rise to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and dystrophin -- which minimizes muscle fiber loss due to sarcolemma contraction damage when ...
