Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by frameshift mutations in the DMD gene
that prevent the body-wide translation of its protein product, dystrophin. Besides a severe …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disorder caused by
mutations in the DMD gene, affecting 1 in 3500 newborn males. Complete loss of muscle …

Dystrophin Dp71 is expressed in all tissues, with the exception of skeletal muscle, and is the
main Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene product in brain. As full-length dystrophin …

Dystroglycan is a ubiquitously expressed heterodimeric adhesion receptor. The extracellular
α-subunit makes connections with a number of laminin G domain ligands including laminins …

Dystrophin is a protein crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of skeletal muscle. So
far, the attention was focused on the role of dystrophin in muscle in view of the devastating …

Renal compensatory hypertrophy (RCH) restores normal kidney function after disease or
loss of kidney tissue and is characterized by an increase in organ size due to cell …

Actin binding proteins (ABPs) have been considered components of the cytoskeleton, which
gives structure and allows mobility of the cell. The complex dynamic properties of the actin …

Objective We explored various prognostic factors of motor outcomes in corticosteroid‐naive
boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Methods The associations between parent …

Dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) is an important structural unit in skeletal muscle that
connects the cytoskeleton (f-actin) of a muscle fiber to the extracellular matrix (ECM) …

During the last 15 years, following its identification and first detailed molecular
characterization, the dystroglycan (DG) complex has taken centre stage in biology and …
