Researchers Discover a New Phenomena in which Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Cells “Eat” Themselves
A team of researchers from the University of Portsmouth recently found that in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a phenomena called autophagy occurs where the damaged muscle cells destroy themselves. Dr. Chris Young discovered this mechanism. The research group led by Professor Darek Gorecki is working on a study focused on Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
