Duchenne muscular dystrophy:
- 10 October 2011
Developing a utrophin drug for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies Professor Dame Kay Davies and colleagues are searching for drugs that could increase the amount of a protein called utrophin, in the muscles. - 10 October 2011
Using exon skipping to boost muscle growth Prof George Dickson plans to build on the current exon skipping work to develop molecular patches that can block the activity of a protein called myostatin and boost muscle growth. - 10 October 2011
Improving the delivery of molecular patches to the muscle In this project Professor Wells and his PhD student will investigate ways to improve the delivery of molecular patches so they can reach all the muscles more easily. - 25 October 2010
Improving exon-skipping for Duchenne muscular dystrophy Dr Wood and PhD student Corinne Betts at the University of Oxford aim to investigate ways to improve upon the current exon-skipping technology. - 17 November 2009
Investigating ways to improve the efficiency of gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy Prof George Dickson and his colleagues at Royal Holloway, University of London are investigating the use of gene therapy to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy. - 17 November 2009
Investigating the role of the dystroglycan protein The aim of this 4 years studentship, supervised by Prof Steve Winder in Sheffield, is to understand the role of the scaffold protein dystroglycan. - 1 October 2007
Could a new type of ankle brace assist walking in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy? This study led by Dr Ros Quinlivan at the RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry proposes to investigate the use of a new ankle foot orthosis to assist walking in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
