Drug Screen Points The Way To Potential New Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Treatments - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “Armed with a zebrafish model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and a library of 1,200 chemicals already approved for human use, researchers at Children's Hospital Boston have identified a compound that reverses the loss of muscle structure and function associated with DMD, seemingly by compensating for the loss of a critical protein. The discovery, published on March 14 in the online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), opens up new avenues for understaView full resource at qualitypointtech.net

Muscular Dystrophy: Exon Skipping Shows Dramatic Effects In Preventing, Treating Muscle-wasting Disease In Mice

sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have released details of a breakthrough which holds promise of a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an incurable muscle-wasting disease. The research has demonstrated that a process known as exon skipping has shown dramatic effects in the prevention and treatment of severely affected, dystrophin and utrophin-deficient mice, preventing severe deterioration of the treated animals and extending their lifespan.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
