ITHACA, New York, Jan. 4 [TNSmedicalresearch-Nature Materials journal] -- Cornell University issued the following news:
New Cornell-led research has found a strong connection between DNA damage triggered by mutations in proteins that surround the cell nucleus, known as lamins, and muscular dystrophy. By exploring the mechanisms that cause the damage, the researchers are hopeful their discovery can help shape better treatments.
