Muscular Dystrophy

Abstract

The etiology of juvenile muscular dystrophy remains obscure despite many decades of clinical and laboratory observations.* The establishment of a program of preventive and remedial care for such patients in this hospital stimulated us to repeat and reassess some of the older observations and to report our

Analysis of RNA Expression in Adult Zebrafish Skeletal Muscle

“…Preliminary assessment of muscle pathology is usually based on a series of histological and immunological tests, performed on muscle samples, which have been indispensable in characterising muscle development and in the identification of many neuromuscular disorders [1][2][3][4]. Most of these techniques involve preserving the skeletal muscle by either fixing the tissue in formaldehyde and then embedding them with paraffin wax or freezing the sample for cyrosectioning [5][6][7][8].…”
