Due to a genetic mutation in the DMD gene, people with Duchenne do not make functional dystrophin; their muscle cells are more sensitive to injury and muscle tissue is progressively replaced with scar ...

Formerly considered fat storage, adipose tissue is now recognized as a vital endocrine organ. Dysfunction in the tissue is linked to significant cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In the study ...

Adult men with DMD have over twice the fracture risk compared to non-DMD counterparts, with corticosteroids increasing this risk further. Bone health monitoring is inadequate, with less than half ...

An extended period of heavy rain raised concerns over potential mudslides in recent burn scar areas, including Malibu, Altadena, and other regions over the weekend. Early Sunday afternoon ...

A detailed map can be viewed in the video above. In the Eaton Fire, the burn scar's proximity to the San Gabriel Mountains could pose a danger. Without plant roots in the ground holding topsoil in ...
