Reversing Muscle Dystrophy
A new technology has brought researchers one step closer to a future cure for Congenital Muscular Dystrophy type1A, a devastating muscle disease that affects children. The new findings are based on research by Kinga Gawlik at Lund University, Department of Experimental Medical Science, and were recently published in Nature.
Congenital Muscular Dystrophy type1A, MDC1A, a progressive genetic…

Watching iZombie
No spoilers for those who don’t watch it but I noticed that in season 2 episode 15 (?) there is a show of a computer screen and it read “Fight Muscle Dystrophy”. I was like “hey!” for that because everyone knows what cancer is (even though its a general name for a whole bunch of types of cancer) but not many people know what MD is. MD being Muscle Dystrophy and there is like over 150 different neuromuscular disorders (according to MD Canada). FSHD for example doesn’t have a permanent cure (lucky me :( ) but there are trial (like Resolaris) and they are still looking. Anyway that was a happy surprise to see in the show.

Promising Step Forward Toward Muscular Dystrophy Treatment: Symptoms Reversed in Mice
After experimental antisense compounds were administered to mice twice a week for four weeks, symptoms of the disease were reduced for up to one year -- a significant portion of a mouse's lifespan.
"These results give us strong encouragement about the possibility of developing a treatment that could fundamentally alter the disease. It's an important step on a long path," said senior author Charles Thornton, M.D., a neurologist at the University of Rochester Medical Center who has been pursuing new treatments for the disease for more than two decades.

But in myotonic dystrophy, the defect results in the creation of an abnormal messenger RNA, which accumulates in the nucleus, getting in the way and stopping other proteins from doing their jobs. One of those proteins is MBNL1, which helps create chloride channels that are important for electrical control of muscles. When that process is thwarted, muscles send errant electrical signals, causing symptoms.
