CRISPR Corrects Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Summary: New studies find a drug designed to combat the gene that causes SCA2 could also be beneficial in the fight against ALS. Source: UT Southwestern. Using the new gene-editing enzyme CRISPR-Cpf1, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have successfully corrected Duchenne muscular dystrophy in human cells and mice in the lab. The UT SouthwesternContinue reading “CRISPR Corrects Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy”

Branched-chain amino acids supplementation for resistance exercise-based muscle damage

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) supplementation has been considered an interesting nutritional strategy to improve skeletal muscle protein turnover in several conditions. There is evidence that resistance exercise (RE)-derived biochemical markers of muscle soreness (creatine kinase (CK), aldolase, myoglobin), soreness, and functional strength may be modulated by BCAA supplementation to favor muscle adaptation. However, few studiesContinue reading “Branched-chain amino acids supplementation for resistance exercise-based muscle damage”
