Researchers report that an experimental drug first developed to treat kidney disease prolongs survival and improves muscle function in mice genetically engineered to develop a severe form of Duchenne ...

Findings published in The American Journal of Pathology identify GLUD1 enzyme as a potential therapeutic target for muscle restoration through metabolic reprogramming, addressing clinically unmet need ...

Doctors use physical therapy to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It can help maintain muscle function, boost quality of life, and prevent complications. A physical therapist will tailor your ...
