Dystrophin Expression following the Transplantation of Normal Muscle Precursor Cells Protects mdx Muscle from Contraction-Induced Damage

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most frequent muscular dystrophy. Currently, there is no cure for the disease. The transplantation of muscle precursor cells (MPCs) is one of the possible treatments, because it can restore the expression of dystrophin in DMD muscles. In this study, we invest...
