Piezo1 possible key to supporting muscle regeneration in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - Science Daily

Tracing the impact of a single protein, Piezo1, researchers found that restoring it in muscles affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy could improve their ability to heal efficiently.

One protein, Piezo1, is key to marshalling muscle stem cells' unique shapes and response to injuries, but it is in low supply in those with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, according to a team at the Per… [+5308 chars]
