Mechanisms of Muscle Degeneration, Regeneration, and Repair in the Muscular Dystrophies
Abstract
To withstand the rigors of contraction, muscle fibers have specialized protein complexes that buffer against mechanical stress and a multifaceted repair system that is rapidly activated after injury. Genetic studies first identified the mechanosensory signaling network that connects the structural elements of muscle and, more recently, have identified repair elements of muscle. Defects in the genes encoding the components of these systems lead to muscular dystrophy, a family of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle wasting. Although the age of onset, affected muscles, and severity vary considerably, all muscular dystrophies are characterized by muscle necrosis that overtakes the regenerative capacity of muscle. The resulting replacement of muscle by fatty and fibrous tissue leaves muscle increasingly weak and nonfunctional. This review discusses the cellular mechanisms that are primarily and secondarily disrupted in muscular dystrophy, focusing on membrane degeneration, muscle regeneration, and the repair of muscle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
