A new 3D model shows that Duchenne gene therapy can repair muscle fibers but fails to shut down the signals that drive scarring.

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child’s first steps to recovery after injury. For some, however, muscle development goes awry, leading to weakness, ...

Skeletal muscle forms through a process called myoblast fusion, in which thousands of individual cells merge to form a single muscle fiber. This process is fundamental to human muscle development and ...

Researchers identified a molecular pathway that can limit muscle repair, a finding that may guide future muscular dystrophy treatments.
