Researchers from Edgewise Therapeutics Inc. have previously developed and characterized a novel bmx mouse model of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), which harbors a deletion of murine Dystrophin exons 45-47 on a C57/BL6J background.
Eight months after announcing the $18.5 million first tranche of its series A, Augustine Therapeutics has closed the oversubscribed round at $85 million and is now ready to begin clinical development of its novel histone deacetylase-6 (HDAC6) inhibitors.
Nature Cell Co. Ltd. won U.S. FDA breakthrough therapy designation of its autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy, Jointstem, March 20, becoming the first Korean company to earn the label in the field of cell therapy.
Prostaglandins induce the regeneration of muscle in rodents and humans through the prostaglandin E2 receptor EP4 subtype receptor, but this therapeutic pathway's potential is limited due to systemic tolerability. Researchers from Mesentech Inc. recently presented new results on their prostaglandin E2 receptor EP4 subtype receptor agonist irodanoprost trying to address this limitation issue.

Researchers from Suzhou Genassist Therapeutics Co. Ltd. have developed a novel canine model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), expected to be more predictive of disease pathogenesis and treatment efficacy.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2E (CMT2E) is a slow and progressive neuropathy characterized by axonal dysfunction. Its clinical phenotype includes muscle weakness and atrophy, sensory loss and reduced nerve conduction velocity, among others.
Investigators from Insmed Inc. have presented new preclinical data on the efficacy of their adenoviral vector (AAV9)-based gene therapy INS-1201 for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
At this week’s Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical and Scientific Conference in Dallas, researchers from Suzhou Genassist Therapeutics Co. Ltd. presented preclinical data for GEN-6050X (ss.AAV9.oTAM and ss.AAV9.hE50-sgRNA).
Sarcopenia is an age-related condition in which muscle mass and strength decrease, leading to reduced overall physical performance. As fast-twitch muscle fibers are more impacted by age-related decline, strategies aimed at enhancing the regeneration and functionality of these fibers are essential to prevent the progression of sarcopenia.
