First ever Target Research published!
In February 2009 the first edition of Target Research - a magazine devoted entirely to scientific research was published. Since the foundation of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign in 1959, clinicians and scientists have gained a much better understanding of how muscles function and the underlying factors that cause muscle disease.
In this magazine we take a look at the progress that has been made and highlight some of the exciting new potential therapies that are being developed. In this issue:
- 50 years of neuromuscular research
- From genes to drugs
- Stem cells - the ultimate body repair kit
- What does the new Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 mean for medical research?
- Animals in research
- All about clinical trials
- Santhera's clinical trial in treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- From donation to innovation - how is our research money spent?
- Lab visits and research projects funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign
- Partnerships - TREAT-NMD, MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases and the European Neuromuscular Centre
