Creating a rat model for testing cell therapies in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
by
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe and progressive muscle disorder in which muscle degeneration and necrosis occur due to the absence of a protein called dystrophin. There is no cure for DMD, and as the disease progresses, respiratory and cardiac functions deteriorate, potentially leading to fatal respiratory or heart failure.
