Late-Stage Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Shows a BMP4-Induced Molecular Signature.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked recessive disease due to loss-of-function variants in the DYSTROPHIN gene. DMD-related skeletal muscle wasting is typified by an aberrant immune response involving upregulation of the TGFฮฒ family of cytokines, like TGFฮฒ1 and...
