Researchers report muscle stem cells may give rise to rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer that affects the muscles in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The study also identifies two genes linked to the tumor's growth. Read More
Shortened telomeres may impede the ability for new muscle regeneration in those with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers from Cardiff University are working in conjunction with biotech company PerkinElmer, to develop a new diagnostic kit of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The kit will be able to screen for DMD by analyzing dried neonatal blood spots. Read More
