Short-term treatment with Uncaria tomentosa aggravates the injury phenotype in mdx mice

ABCS health sci; 49 (), 2024
INTRODUCTION: Uncaria tomentosa (Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) DC. (Rubiaceae) or UT is a medicinal plant with antiviral, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene; this deficie...

iPSCs ameliorate hypoxia-induced autophagy and atrophy in C2C12 myotubes via the AMPK/ULK1 pathway

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked lethal genetic disorder for which there is no effective treatment. Previous studies have shown that stem cell transplantation into mdx mice can promote muscle regeneration and improve muscle function, however, the specific molecular mechanisms ...

Ursolic acid increases strength in mdx mice model and may decrease fibrosis deposition by tgf-ß downregulation

Int. j. morphol; 40 (1), 2022
SUMMARY: Dystrophin disfunction results in sarcolemma destabilization, leading muscle cell damage by continuous degeneration cycles and limited regeneration. In muscle dystrophy, caused by dystrophin dysfunction, inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis are pathophysiological muscle function loss characterist...

La distrofia muscular de Duchenne es una enfermedad genéticamente determinada, ligada al cromosoma X y caracterizada clínicamente por producir debilidad muscular progresiva, con una incidencia de 1 por cada 3500-6000 varones nacidos. Es causada por la mutaciones en el gen DMD, el cual codifica la distr...
