When even one tiny section of a person’s genetic code becomes mutated or modified, cells can begin to act out of ...

Our research group is investigating the mechanisms that regulate skeletal muscle regeneration, focusing on skeletal muscle stem cells. We are interested in the biogenesis of skeletal muscle stem cells ...

In the example of recessive diseases, AAV-mediated gene therapy is aimed at adding a gene back to cells that are affected by this genetic mutation. And in neuromuscular diseases, this might be ...

In myasthenia gravis, the thymus enhances the presence and the antibody production capacity of immune cells that produce antibodies against the neuromuscular junction receptor. Although the precise ...
