Biological membranes are highly dynamic in their ability to orchestrate vital mechanisms
including cellular protection, organelle compartmentalization, cellular biomechanics, nutrient …

The amyloid aggregation of α-synuclein (α S), related to Parkinson's disease, can be
catalyzed by lipid membranes. Despite the importance of lipid surfaces, the 3D-structure and …

Dystrophin is a large sub-sarcolemmal protein. Its absence leads to Duchenne muscular
dystrophy (DMD). Binding to the sarcolemma is essential for dystrophin to protect muscle …

We have analysed the splicing pattern of the human Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
transcript in normal skeletal muscle. To achieve depth of coverage required for the analysis …

Progressive limb and girdle muscle atrophy leading to loss of ambulation is a hallmark of
dysferlinopathies, which include limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B and Miyoshi …

In this chapter, we present an overview about different roles of Langmuir monolayers as
biomembrane models, contributing to understand biological phenomena or help develop …

The present study is centered on molecular mechanisms of the cytoprotective effect of
geranylgeraniol (GGOH) in skeletal muscle harmed by statin-associated myopathy (SAM) …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked dystrophin-minus muscle-wasting
disease. Ion homeostasis in skeletal muscle fibers underperforms as DMD progresses. But …

The ability of the membrane skeletal protein spectrin to interact with phospholipids, and
aminophospholipids in particular, in both natural and model membranes, is well …

Dystrophin (DYS) is a membrane skeleton protein whose mutations lead to lethal Duchenne
muscular dystrophy or to the milder Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD). One third of BMD “in …
