Extracellular Matrix Proteomics: The <i>mdx-4cv</i> Mouse Diaphragm as a Surrogate for Studying Myofibrosis in Dystrophinopathy

The progressive degeneration of the skeletal musculature in Duchenne muscular dystrophy is accompanied by reactive myofibrosis, fat substitution, and chronic inflammation. Fibrotic changes and reduced tissue elasticity correlate with the loss in motor function in this X-chromosomal disorder. Thus, a...
