Journal Article
Hildyard, J. C. W., Taylor-Brown, F. E., Massey, C., Wells, D. J., & Piercy, R. J. (in press). Determination of qPCR Reference Genes Suitable for Normalizing Gene Expression in a Canine Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases, 5(2), 177-191. https://doi.org/10.3233/JND-170267

Background:Dogs with dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy are valuable models of the equivalent human disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): unlike the mdx mouse, these animals present a disease severity and progression that closely matches t...

THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DYSTROPHIN FOLLOWING ANTISENSE BASED EXON-SKIPPING IN THE MDX MOUSE
Journal Article
Muses, S., Godfrey, C., McClorey, G., Wells, K. E., Coursindel, T., Terry, R. L., …Wells, D. J. (in press). THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DYSTROPHIN FOLLOWING ANTISENSE BASED EXON-SKIPPING IN THE MDX MOUSE. Neuromuscular Disorders, 25, S312-S313. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nmd.2015.06.450

We examined the effects on muscle physiology of restoring different levels of dystrophin in mdx mice with established dystrophic pathophysiology (12 weeks and older). Dystrophin expression was induced very efficiently using cell penetrating peptides...

Characterisation of the pathogenic effects of the in vivo expression of an ALS-linked mutation in D-amino acid oxidase: Phenotype and loss of spinal cord motor neurons
Journal Article
Kondori, N. R., Paul, P., Robbins, J. P., Liu, K., Hildyard, J. C. W., Wells, D. J., & De Belleroche, J. S. (in press). Characterisation of the pathogenic effects of the in vivo expression of an ALS-linked mutation in D-amino acid oxidase: Phenotype and loss of spinal cord motor neurons. PLoS ONE, 12, e0188912. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0188912

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult-onset neuromuscular disorder characterised by selective loss of motor neurons leading to fatal paralysis. Current therapeutic approaches are limited in their effectiveness. Substantial adva...
