Anti-inflammatory nanoparticles significantly improve muscle function in a murine model of advanced muscular dystrophy
Theresa M. Raimondo, David Mooney
Abstract
recruitment, muscles exhibited increased fiber area and fourfold increases in contraction force and velocity versus controls. The ability of PA4 to shift immune responses, and improve dystrophic muscle function, suggests that immunomodulatory treatment may benefit many genetically diverse muscular dystrophies, all of which share inflammatory pathology.
