Diogo Fernandes, estudante de Doutoramento no laboratório MMD foi recentemente destacado no jornal Observador pelo seu trabalho que explora o potencial da terapia genética para responder a uma forma de distrofia muscular. Vejam a entrevista na íntegra no link abaixo.

Quando falta a cola que mantém os músculos unidos pode a terapia genética travar uma doença rara?
Na Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, Diogo Fernandes tenta desenvolver uma terapia genética capaz de reescrever o curso de uma doença muscular rara e incapacitante.

Laminin-α2 chain deficiency in skeletal muscle causes dysregulation of multiple cellular mechanisms
LAMA2, coding for the laminin-α2 chain, is a crucial ECM component, particularly abundant in skeletal muscle. Mutations in LAMA2 trigger the often-lethal LAMA2 -congenital muscular dystrophy (LAMA2-CM...
