Our goal is to uncover mechanisms of skeletal muscle adaptation in neuromuscular disorders to design therapies that can block fibrosis and enhance regeneration.

Congratulations to Dr. Craig McDonald and team at @UCDavisHealth for treating Andrew Rodriguez from Fresno with #GeneTherapy before his 6th birthday. Thank you to Valley Children's Healthcare (valleychildrens.org), @Sarepta and Medi-Cal for working together to make this happen for Andrew and his family. 🙏🔬🧬👏

We are very excited to receive this new @CIRMnews DISC2 grant to establish new technologies to treat DMD in utero! This represents a new line of research at the @ucdsurgerycsb @UCDavisSurgery to use lipid nanoparticles to deliver mRNA for gene editing and therapy!
Congratulations to @AijunWangLab and team!! New DISC2 grant awarded by @CIRMnews on his innovative #GeneEditing for #MuscularDystrophy. 👏👏👏

Thankful for my collab with @ShrinersNorCA that enabled me to present some data on the interplay between muscle stiffness, collagen architecture, and gait in CP. We have a great team! Looking forward to the rest of @aacpdm 2022!

Our preprint of the effects of a collagen cross-link inhibitor on dystrophic skeletal muscle is out on bioRxiv. Happy to be co-first author with @sarah_brash25 in @MyoMatrix lab!
Collagen content and cross-links scale with passive stiffness in dystrophic mouse muscles, but are not altered with administration of collagen cross-linking inhibitor beta-aminopropionitrile biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv
