Journal Article
Piercy, R., Riddell, D., Hildyard, J., Harron, R., & Wells, D. (2022). Serum inflammatory cytokines as disease biomarkers in the DE50-MD dog model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Neuromuscular Disorders, https://doi.org/10.1242/dmm.049394

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal muscle-wasting disease, caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, characterised by cycles of muscle degeneration, inflammation and regeneration. The DE50-MD dog is a canine model of DMD that closely mimi... Read More about Serum inflammatory cytokines as disease biomarkers in the DE50-MD dog model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Longitudinal assessment of blood-borne musculoskeletal disease biomarkers in the DE50-MD dog model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal muscle wasting disease affecting approximately 1 in 6000 male births worldwide. Due to their phenotypic similarity to human patients, large animal models are invaluable tools for pre-clinical t...
