Manipulating cell signaling for better muscle function in muscular dystrophy Date: October 26, 2015 Source: University of Michigan Health System Summary: Researchers report on their discovery of a ...

The muscular dystrophies are known to target various muscle groups differentially. In addition to making limb muscles weak, muscular dystrophy (MD) can also lead to decreased function of specific ...

University of Florida researchers have identified a gene responsible for brain-related symptoms of the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscle degeneration disorder caused by mutations affecting the dystrophin gene. On August 24th in the journal Stem Cell Reports, researchers show how a dual ...

An explanation of how the muscular-skeletal system functions during physical exercise The muscular system works in conjunction with the skeleton to produce movement of the limbs and body.
