Necroptosis mediates myofibre death in dystrophin-deficient mice

Muscular dystrophies are characterised by extensive myofibre cell death. Here Morgan et al. show that RIPK3-mediated necroptosis contributes to myofibre cell death in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and that RIPK3 deletion protects dystrophic mice against myofibre degeneration.
