UC Irvine researchers investigate muscle cell development in muscular dystrophy
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FHSD) is one of the most common muscular dystrophies, which results in progressive weakening of skeletal muscles. Now, a new study published in Genome Research by UCI School of Medicine researchers utilize cutting-edge single-cell spatial transcriptomics to analyze gene expression in individual nuclei and myocytes of disease and control samples to determine how the disease state develops during human skeletal myocyte differentiation.
