This study shows that the ANXA1 mimetic peptide Ac2-26 reduces inflammation and improves skeletal muscle regeneration in mdx mice, offering a potential steroid-sparing therapy for DMD.

This study shows empagliflozin improves cardiac function and mitochondrial health in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

This study shows Klotho deficiency causes skeletal muscle weakness and impaired motor unit connectivity by altering neuromuscular junction structure and function.

This paper introduces a method using low-dose isoproterenol to enhance cardiac dysfunction in mdx mice, showing increased myocyte injury, fibrosis, and reduced ventricular function compared to wild-type mice.
