A novel drug holds promise for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare genetic disorder that causes severe muscle degeneration.
香蕉视频 researchers have discovered that an experimental compound called K884 can boost the natural repair abilities of muscle stem cells. Current treatments can slow muscle damage, but don鈥檛 address the root problem.
DMD affects about one in 5,000 boys worldwide, often leading to wheelchair dependence by the teenage years and life-threatening complications in early adulthood.

Scientists have uncovered a new link between the immune system and the development of Parkinson鈥檚 disease.
Researchers at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) at 香蕉视频 have discovered that an immune response plays a key role in how toxic protein clumps, known as Lewy bodies, form in brain cells and contribute to disease.
This suggests factors that trigger the immune system, such as chronic inflammation, exposure to toxins, or prolonged stress may not only correlate with Parkinson鈥檚, as previous research has found, but drive its development.
