Abstract:A common aspect of many diseases and traumatic injuries affecting skeletal muscle is the necrotic death of muscle fibers. Necrotic death of muscle fibers involves the breakdown of the sarcolemmal membrane that can be exacerbated by increased fragility of the membrane or by compromised endogenous sarcolemmal membrane repair processes. Increasing the efficacy of these repair mechanisms could act as a therapeutic approach for several muscular diseases and injuries. Limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B), a su… Show more
