Brief description Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common and severe form of muscular dystrophy, caused by a lack of a protein called dystrophin. Dystrophic muscles are fragile, prone to injury, and have a compromised ability to regenerate after damage. Modulating pathways regulating beta-adrenergic signalling has potential to attenuate the dystrophic pathology and to delay the onset or slow the progression of the muscle wasting and weakness in muscular dystrophy.
