Modified muscle use or injury can produce a stereotypic inflammatory response in which
neutrophils rapidly invade, followed by macrophages. This inflammatory response coincides …

The immune response to acute muscle damage is important for normal repair. However, in
chronic diseases such as many muscular dystrophies, the immune response can amplify …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked, degenerative muscle disease that is
exacerbated by secondary inflammation. Here, we characterized the immunological milieu …

Necrosis of skeletal muscle fibres in the lethal childhood myopathy Duchenne Muscular

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal neuromuscular disease that affects boys and
leads to early death. In the quest for new treatments that improve the quality of life and in the …

Pronounced catabolic effects of proinflammatory cytokines in various tissues contribute to
local catabolism, with progressive atrophic alterations of the skeletal muscle in chronic …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy
