Abstract:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare genetic, progressive and devastating skeletal and cardiac muscle disorder due to mutation of the dystrophin gene that affects 1 in 3500 young males. Currently, there is no curative management for this pathology. The development of inducedpluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offers a promising cell-based strategy for the treatment of muscular dystrophy. Several techniques have been established to generate functional myogenic progenitor cells derived from iPSCs. In addition,… Show more
