Muscle tissue provides the largest store of potentially available protein in the body; it is considerable reduced in children with severe protein energy malnutrition (PEM). After nutritional recovery ...
A team of Vanderbilt researchers has developed a wirelessly activated device that mimics the wavelike muscular function in the esophagus and small intestine responsible for transporting food and ...
Some patients with later-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 2 and type 3 had improved motor function when the investigational monoclonal antibody apitegromab was added to their treatment, the ...
BridgeBio Pharma will seek US approval of its limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) small molecule after the drug met its ...
New research has identified the enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1) as a new therapeutic target for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In preclinical DMD mouse models, investigators demonstrated ...
The least-squares mean difference in the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale-Expanded change from baseline at 12 months was 1.8 points for those 2 to 12 years receiving apitegromab vs placebo.
