Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are a heterogeneous group of myopathies characterized by
progressive muscle weakness leading to death from heart or respiratory failure. MDs are …

The gene inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase D (INPP5D), which encodes the lipid
phosphatase SH2-containing inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase 1 (SHIP1), is …

This review considers available data on the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in
echinoderms. The connective tissue in these animals has a rather complex organization. It …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reside in niches to maintain tissue homeostasis and

Aim: This study examined the roles of the laminin and proteoglycan receptor dystroglycan
(DG) in extracellular matrix stabilization and cellular mechanosensory processes conveyed …

Skeletal muscular diseases predominantly affect skeletal and cardiac muscle, resulting in
muscle weakness, impaired respiratory function and decreased lifespan. These harmful …

Dystroglycan (DG) is an extracellular matrix receptor consisting of an α-and a β-DG subunit
encoded by the DAG1 gene. The homozygous mutation (c. 2006G> T, p. Cys669Phe) in β …

Asparagine-linked glycosylation (N-glycosylation) is a common co-and post-translational
modification that refers to the addition of complex carbohydrates, called N-linked glycans (N …
