"Impaired plasma membrane repair plays a crucial role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, muscle degradation, and aging," says Dr. Raj. Looking ahead, she adds, "Our fundamental ...
Excitable cells, such as fast-acting neurons and muscle cells, have specialized channels that open in response to a signal and permit rapid ion movement across the cell membrane. The opening of ...
A pilot study in 19 LGMD patients and one with Becker MD found low-dose prednisone helped lower markers of muscle damage and inflammation.
