In vivo non-invasive monitoring of dystrophin correction in a new Duchenne muscular dystrophy reporter mouse

Dystrophin-deficient mice are used to test corrective strategies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but evaluation of dystrophin expression requires collection of tissue samples from specific muscles and time points. Here, the authors generate mice in which dystrophin expression is coupled to lucifera...

Sumario:Dystrophin-deficient mice are used to test corrective strategies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but evaluation of dystrophin expression requires collection of tissue samples from specific muscles and time points. Here, the authors generate mice in which dystrophin expression is coupled to luciferase, and show that bioluminescence allows non-invasive monitoring of dystrophin expression following genome editing.
