Another strategy for a cure of for myotonic dystrophy treatment
Researchers at the University of Valencia in Spain led by Amparo Garcia-Lopez recently identified a new way to block the genetic change that causes myotonic dystrophy type 1. They used a fruit fly model to screen for potential drugs and then tested the most promising one in mice. The muscles of the treated mice appeared healthier under the microscope. This new research is encouraging and if replicated in humans it would be expected to be an effective treatment.
