Removing immunomodulatory protein improves symptoms of muscular dystrophy in mice: "Removing an immunomodulatory protein called osteopontin improves the symptoms of mice with muscular dystrophy by changing the type of macrophages acting on damaged muscle tissue, according to a paper published in The Journal of Cell Biology. The study, "Osteopontin ablation ameliorates muscular dystrophy by shifting macrophages to a pro-regenerative phenotype" by Joana Capote and colleagues, adds support to the idea that osteopontin inhibitors could be used to treat patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
DMD is a progressive, and ultimately fa"
