Targeting the immune system to improve ventilatory function in muscular dystrophy
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to understand the mechanism that lead to respiratory muscle dysfunction, which were critical for the development of therapeutic interventions and aimed at preventing respiratory failure in muscular dystrophy. The findings indicate that immune system play a major role in progressive deterioration of the diaphragm muscle in muscular dystrophy and provide a basis for developing pharmacological approaches to maintain muscle mass and function in the disease.
