This is so how muscle “talks” to other tissues…my bet is that there is a host of metabs and other goodies in those packages…#environmental #cues #purines #metabolism #miceobiome #tissue #crosstalk

[Craig A. Goodman @CraigAGoodman1]

Skeletal muscle-derived extracellular vesicles transport glycolytic enzymes to mediate muscle-to-bone crosstalk

What would you do if both your children were diagnosed with an ultra #RareDisease affecting fewer than 150 people in the world? And there was no medical treatment available for them?

So very excited for our research on re-purposed dimethyl fumarate as a treatment for #Duchenne muscular dystrophy to be in @JCI_insight. Thanks to our wonderful collaborators and to @MDAorg and @Telethon_France for funding our research program to further explore this therapy
