Muscular Dystrophy: MG53 Protein Is Shown to Repair Cell and Tissue Damage
June 20, 2012 — Throughout the lifecycle, injury to the body’s cells occurs naturally, as well as through trauma. Cells have the ability to repair and regenerate themselves, but a defect in the repair process ... > full story -
Scientists Discover Clues to Muscle Stem Cell Functions
May 15, 2012 — Scientists have identified how skeletal muscle stem cells respond to muscle injury and may be stimulated to improve muscle repair in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a severe inherited disease of muscle ... > full story -

Genetic Mutation Causing Rare Form of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Identified
May 10, 2012 — Scientists have confirmed that mutations of a gene are responsible for some cases of a rare, inherited disease that causes progressive muscle degeneration and weakness: spinal muscular atrophy with ... > full story -
New Muscular Dystrophy Treatment Approach Developed Using Human Stem Cells
May 4, 2012 — Researchers have effectively treated muscular dystrophy in mice using human stem cells derived from a new process that -- for the first time -- makes the production of human muscle cells from stem ... > full story -
Scientists Uncover Exciting Lead Into Premature Aging and Heart Disease
April 30, 2012 — Scientists have discovered that they can dramatically increase the life span of mice with progeria (premature aging disease) and heart disease (caused by Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy) by ... > full story -
Treatment Hope for Muscular Dystrophy
April 4, 2012 — Medical researchers have found that increasing a specific protein in muscles could help treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a severe and progressive muscle wasting disease that affects young ... > full story -
Next-Generation DNA Sequencing to Improve Diagnosis for Muscular Dystrophy
March 5, 2012 — Scientists have used a revolutionary new DNA-reading technology for a research project that could lead to correct genetic diagnosis for muscle-wasting diseases. The technique could be used to offer ... > full story -
Scientists Create Potent Molecules Aimed at Treating Muscular Dystrophy
February 22, 2012 — While RNA is an appealing drug target, small molecules that can actually affect its function have rarely been found. But now scientists have for the first time designed a series of small molecules ... > full story -

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
