New Discovery Uncovers a Key Aspect of Muscular Dystrophies
A recent study conducted by scientists at the Institute of Molecular Genetics has uncovered an important new aspect of muscular dystrophies – the genetic diseases that cause progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. The study found that a particular genetic pathway, called the “SMAD signaling cascade,” plays an important role in regulating muscle growth and regeneration. This discovery is a major breakthrough in the understanding of muscular dystrophies and could help to lead to new treatments for this debilitating disease.
