Unlike human DMD patients, some DMD pigs die shortly after birth.
2
We found that fibroblasts taken from human DMD and control muscle had similar in vitro proliferative capacities.
3
In addition, overall Cx43 protein levels were markedly increased in mouse and human DMD heart tissues examined.
4
We recently generated a novel genetically engineered pig model reflecting pathological hallmarks of human DMD better than the widely used mdx mouse.

The best animal model to address these questions is the golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) dog that reproduces the full spectrum of human DMD.
