Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

Traumatic extremity injuries frequently involve volumetric muscle loss (VML), a debilitating and irrecoverable muscle injury resulting in loss of limb function. Current therapies do not restore ...

BMD results from mutation of the dystrophin gene yielding unstable and/or dysfunctional dystrophin expression in muscles. Individuals with BMD, typically males, have ongoing muscle fiber (myofiber) ...
