Immortalized Skeletal Muscle Cells: Advancing DMD Research

Immortalized skeletal muscle cells derived from healthy and DMD patients serve as reproducible models for neuromuscular research. These cells aid in studying disease mechanisms and evaluating exon-skipping therapies. A key contributor, Kamel Mamchaoui, developed DMD myoblast cell lines, enhancing preclinical research. These models support dystrophin restoration studies and therapeutic advancements, helping researchers refine potential treatments for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
