Amongst some 26 nationalities represented, a majority of Latin people : 3 comme from Brazil, 4 from Argentina, 2 from Mexico, 2 … [Read more]
From 40% of dystrophin expression, muscle condition is improved
Team 5 from the Institute of Myology Centre of Research, “RNA-repair based therapeutic strategies and skeletal muscle pathophysiology” directed by France PiĂ©tri-Rouxel, demonstrated that a minimum level of 40% of dystrophin is necessary both to recover strength and to improve muscle general condition. How did you obtain these results? Our team has a long-standing interest … [Read more]
