When Nerve Meets Muscle, Biglycan Seals the Deal
February 14, 2012 — In the absence of the protein biglycan, synapses at neuromuscular junctions in mice began to break up about five weeks after birth, according to a new study. Reintroducing byglycan helped fix the ... > full story -
Need Muscle for a Tough Spot? Turn to Fat Stem Cells
January 30, 2012 — Stem cells derived from fat have a surprising trick up their sleeves: Encouraged to develop on a stiff surface, they undergo a remarkable transformation toward becoming mature muscle cells. The new ... > full story -
Genes and Disease Mechanisms Behind a Common Form of Muscular Dystrophy Discovered
January 12, 2012 — Continuing a series of groundbreaking discoveries begun in 2010 about the genetic causes of the third most common form of inherited muscular dystrophy, scientists have identified the genes and ... > full story -
Enzyme Function Could Help With Muscular Dystrophy Therapies
January 9, 2012 — Researchers have worked out the exact function of an enzyme that is critical for normal muscle structure and is involved in several muscular dystrophies. The findings could be used to develop rapid, ... > full story -
Some Muscular Dystrophy Patients at Increased Risk for Cancer
December 13, 2011 — People who have the most common type of adult muscular dystrophy also have a higher risk of getting cancer, according to a paper published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association. ... > full story -
Adult Stem Cells Use Special Pathways to Repair Damaged Muscle, Researchers Find
December 1, 2011 — Researchers recently found how even distant satellite cells could help with the repair, and are now learning how the stem cells travel within the tissue. This knowledge could ultimately help doctors ... > full story -
Clinical Trial for Muscular Dystrophy Demonstrates Safety of Customized Gene Therapy
November 30, 2011 — Researchers have shown that it is safe to cut and paste together different viruses in an effort to create the ultimate vehicle for gene therapy. In a phase I clinical trial, the investigators found ... > full story -
