BETs inhibition attenuates oxidative stress and preserves muscle integrity in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterised by progressive muscle degeneration. Here, the authors show that the BET protein BRD4 is increased in the muscle of DMD mouse models, and that pharmacological inhibition of BRD4 leads to reduced muscle pathology in mice, by modulating NADPH oxidase e...
