Genetic and epigenetic mechanisms combine to control MMP1 expression and its association with preterm premature rupture of membranes.

abstract：:Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by the absence of dystrophin along muscle fibers. An attractive therapeutic avenue for DMD consists in the upregulation of utrophin A, a protein with high sequence identity and functional redundancy with dystrophin. Recent work has shown that pharmacological interventions th...
