The Action Duchenne website aims to offer a unique forum for sharing information and ideas in the search for a cure and better medical care for Duchenne and Becker and will at all times attempt to ensure postings are accurate, scientifically peer reviewed and not offensive to individuals. Action Duchenne, however, cannot take responsibility for personal opinions, information and the content of links to other websites. It is essential that you always contact your clinician or GP before taking any course of medication, therapy or supplement.
Jenny is a reader in cell biology at Imperial College in London. She is moving to be part of the new MRC Neuromuscular translational Research Centre at UCL. Her team are currently working on a stem cell approach to delivering new msucle to pateints with Duchenne.
A stem cell is defined as a long-lived cell, which has the capacity to give rise to a more-specialised cell and to self-renew.
