Myotube and endothelial cell coculture optimization to determine the effect of DM1 on angiogenesis
By Emily Boyd Faculty Mentor: Ginny Morriss Abstract Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by CTG repeats and results in muscle wasting. Increased concentration and inactivation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFRβ) has been reported in a mouse model of DM1 and in DM1 patient muscles. PDGFRβ is involved in…
