Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X‐linked neuromuscular disease caused by a
deficiency in dystrophin–a structural protein which stabilises muscle during contraction …

Muscle atrophy is an active process controlled by specific transcriptional programs, in which
muscle mass is lost by increased protein degradation and/or decreased protein synthesis …

In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), diaphragm muscle dysfunction results in
respiratory insufficiency, a leading cause of death in patients. Increased muscle stiffness …

Adult skeletal muscle is capable of active and efficient differentiation in the event of injury in
both physiological and pathological conditions, such as in Duchenne muscular dystrophy …

Female carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) presenting with DMD
symptomology similar to males with DMD, such as skeletal muscle weakness and …

The mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterized by functional and
structural alterations of the diaphragm since early stages of pathology, closely resembling …

Collagen accumulation is often used to characterize skeletal muscle fibrosis, but the role of
collagen in passive muscle mechanics remains debated. Here we combined finite-element …

The MDX mouse is an animal model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a human disease
marked by an absence of the cytoskeletal protein, dystrophin. We hypothesized that 1) …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) occurs due to genetic mutations that lead to a
deficiency in dystrophin production and consequent progressive degeneration of skeletal …

Background Diaphragmatic sleep disordered breathing (dSDB) has been recently identified
