Clinical Follow-Up for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Newborn Screening: A Proposal.

abstract：:Muscle makes up the largest tissue volume of the body, yet its size makes muscle-specific therapy difficult. This becomes particularly relevant when approaches to gene therapy for inherited myopathies are evaluated. Thus, a mechanism to target constructs or pharmaceuticals to muscle following intravenous injection wou...
