Combined therapy could repair and prevent damage in Duchenne muscular dystrophy

New research on two promising gene therapies suggests that combining them into one treatment not only repairs muscle damage caused by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but also prevents future injury from the muscle-wasting disease. The work, led by a team at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, is the first to look at the approach in aged mice, a key step toward clinical trials in patients.
