FAQ
DMD is a genetic disorder that primarily affects boys and is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that produces dystrophin, a protein important for muscle function.
DMD is a rapidly progressive disease, and symptoms can include difficulty running, jumping, and climbing stairs, as well as a loss of muscle mass and mobility. Over time, the disease can also affect other muscle groups, including the heart and respiratory system.
Common symptoms of DMD include difficulty running, jumping, and climbing stairs, as well as a loss of muscle mass and mobility. As the disease progresses, it can affect other muscle groups, including the heart and respiratory system.
Treatment options for DMD include physical therapy, braces, assistive devices, surgery in some cases, and medications that can help manage symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
Stem cell treatment for DMD works by introducing stem cells into the affected muscles with the goal of replacing damaged muscle fibers with new, functional cells. Additionally, stem cells can secrete growth factors and cytokines that can promote tissue repair and regeneration, which could potentially improve muscle function and slow the progression of the disease.
As with any medical procedure, there may be potential risks associated with stem cell treatment for DMD. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a medical professional.
