ABSTRACT The threat of radiological and nuclear accidents or attacks demands effective radiation medical countermeasures (MCM) able to mitigate and treat the effects of exposure to ionizing radiations. Hematopoietic acute radiation syndrome (HRAS) and cutaneous radiation syndrome (CRS) pose severe, life-threatening risks to exposed individuals. Currently no effective radio-mitigator (to be adminis ...

Abstract Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal muscle disease with a predicted incidence of 1 in 5000 males. DMD results from mutations in the gene encoding dystrophin, a 427 kDa scaffolding protein responsible for providing a mechanical link between the muscle fiber actin cytoskeleton and laminin in the extracellular matrix. The 7β1 integrin is a transmembrane linkage system in skeleta ...
